Fond Affection

Once I loved your fond affection

All my hopes on you was spent

Till a dark eyed girl persuaded

And you care no more for me

Go on and leave me if you wish to

Never let me cross your mind

In your heart to love another

Never on earth will I call you mine

When I'm dead and in my coffin

And my pale face towards the sun

Will you come and sit beside me

And think of what you've done

When I'm dead and in my coffin

And the shroud about me bows

Will you come and scatter roses

Upon your lover's mound
