We have met and we have parted We have spoke our last goodbye You have proved to me false-hearted You may now forever go You have wrecked the heart I cherished You have done me day by day You are false, but I'll forgive you To forget you, I cannot say For I love you, dear, I love you More than all this world I know You have proved to me false-hearted You may now forever go By the river bank I'll loiter Until I see your face once more Then I'll plunge beneath the cold water And I'll land on some far shore Down among the trees and the bushes Where the dark green willows wave In the cold and silent rushes There you'll find my lonely grave For I love you, dear, I love you More than all this world I know You have proved to me false-hearted You may now forever go Oh, I wish I was white marble Cold and white on some far shore Then this poor heart would cease from troubling And I'd feel this pain no more For I love you, dear, I love you More than all this world I know You have proved to me false-hearted You may now forever go Oh, I love you, dear, I love you More than all this world I know I have proved to thee false-hearted I must now forever go
