THE LASS ON THE HILL
In a lonely house on a lonely hill,
Where the winds of winter play,
Lived a lovely lass with a loving heart
And I went there many a day
Yes I went there many a day.
I promised her when I left her there
That I wouldn’t be long away;
But the lovely lass with the loving heart
She waited for many a day
Yes she waited many a day.
When I came back to the house on the hill
To marry her was my plan;
But the lovely lass with the loving heart
She was married to another man
Yes she was married to another man.
In the lonely house where I live alone,
The winter winds blow strong,
For the lovely lass with the loving heart
I kept her waiting too long
Yes I kept her waiting too long.
And now she’s gone, I’ve been a fool,
And there’s nothing I can do;
Never leave the one you love
For she’ll meet someone better than you,
Yes she’ll meet someone better than you.
[Possible refrain:
The morning time and the evening time,
The night time and the day,
The summer time and the winter time,
And a life time passing away.]
