This is a song I would like to share with you. I have started to sing it in public, its origins I think are in Canada, but I heard it sung by an Irish girl, it goes like this:Shes like the swallow that flies on high
Shes like the river that never runs dry
Shes like the sun beaming on the seashore
I love my love, but love is no more A maiden into her garden did go
For to pluck her some wild primrose
The more she plucked the more she did pull
Until this maidens apron was full
Then out of these roses she made a bed
A scarlet pillow for her head
She laid her down, not words she did speak
And then this maidens heart it did break Shes like the swallow that flies on high
Shes like the river that never runs dry
Shes like the sun beaming on the seashore
I love my love, but love is no more. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx IP: Logged |

sue g - sad song, sing it strong
Pix,
I opened this thread, knowing I could depend on you. Dirty minds think alike, but you say what I dont dare to. (Maybe just 'cause I'm a guy.) God bless you, you little devil you.
