That gorgeous lass, she looks at me Her eyes twinkling like stars above Like diamonds with fine clarity Fallen I by clutches of love Although lurk I in sorrow still Knowing be mine never she will
My heart is dark with my strong woe My soul is crippled down to none Knowing she’s ne’er mine leaves me so In a piece, no longer a one For though she seems like a seraph At me Cupid can only laugh
As he says, “the best joke I’ve seen She can ne’er be yours so leave off Quit from continuing to glean Your ‘precious gems’ of petty love.” And though those words were most severe I’ll still chase love now that it’s here
For a joke, true love never is And tis the wave and tis my call For she fills my heart’s gap with bliss The deep gap that once scarred my soul I’ll love the one I always loved No matter what, ‘gainst grim I’ll go And hope against all hope I got She, that girl will just love me so
