The Carter Family - Fond Affection lyrics

[Verse 1] Once I loved your fond affection All my hopes on you was spent Till a dark eyed girl persuaded And you cared no more for me [Chorus] Go on and leave me if you wish to Never let me cross your mind In your heart you love another Never on earth will I call you mine Yodel-ay-ee-oh, lay-ee-ay, oh-lay-ee [Verse 2] When I'm dead and in my coffin And my pale face toward the sun Will you come and sit beside me And think of what you have done [Chorus] [Verse 3] When I'm dead and in my coffin And the shroud about me bound Will you come and scatter roses Upon your lover's mound [Chorus]
