THE SWEET FORGET-ME-NOT Fancy brings a thought to mind Of a flower that's bright and fair Its grace and beauty both combine A brighter jewel more rare Just like a maiden that I know Who shared my happy lot She whispered when we parted last "Oh, you'll forget me not" She's graceful and she's charming Like the lily in the pond Time is flying swiftly by Of her I am so fond The roses and the daisies Are blooming 'round the spot Where we parted, when she whispered "You'll forget me not" We met, I really don't know where But still it's just the same For love grows in the city streets As well as in the lane I gently clasped her tiny hand One glance at me she shot She dropped her flower, I picked it up 'Twas the sweet forget-me-not And then there came a happy time When something that I said Caused her lips to murmur "Yes" And shortly we were wed There is a cott' down in the land And a tiny plot Where grows a flower, I know it well It's the sweet forget-me-not traditional from Newfoundland Recorded by Ian Robb @flower @love filename[ FGETMNOT TUNE FILE: FGETMNOT CLICK TO PLAY JM apr97 |
