False, false have you been to me my love* How often have you changed your mind? But since you've gone and left me, for another fair one I'm afraid you are no more mine But I would climb a tree that is too high for me Asking fruit where there weren't any growing I was lifting warm water from beneath the cold clay And against the stream I was rowing False, false have you been to me my love How often have you changed your mind? But since you've gone and left me, for another fair one I'm afraid you are no more mine Ah but I would climb a tree that is too high for me And I'll herry a wild snowflake's nest And down I will fall without any fear To the arms that love me the best False, false have you been to me my love How often have you changed your mind? But since you've gone and left me, for another fair one I'm afraid you are no more mine
