As the lonesome scenes of winter in stormy winds to blow Clouds around the center inclined to frost and snow You're the boy that I have chosen to be my only dear Your scornful heart is frozen and drifted far I fear
One night I went to see my love, but he proved most scornfully I asked him if he'd marry me, but he would not marry me The night it is far spent, my love, it's near the break of day I am waiting for your answer, my dear, what do you say?
I can but plainly tell you, I 'll lead a single life I never thought it fitting that you should be my wife So take a civil answer and for yourself provide I have another sweetheart and you I have laid aside
Now my mind is changing that old love for the new This wide and lonesome valley I mean to ramble thru' In search of someone handsome that might my fancy fill That world is wide and lonesome, if he don't, another will.
