I go to the Clyde for to mourn and weep,But satisfied I never could sleep. Ill write to you in a few short lines,Ill suffer death ten thousand times. 5. My own true love, so fare you well, The time has passed, but I wish you well;But still I hope the time will comeWhen you and I will be as one. 6. I love my love and well he knows I love the ground whereon he goes;The prettiest face, the neatest hands,I love the ground whereon he stands. 59 BLftCK IS THE COLOUR te.
