Hi, the verses in the Trad are all in the version I have, but I also have this extra one in the version sung by Cynthia Gooding on her Queen of Hearts album; the BOLD verse is being added, plain text is already in the DigiTrad. Somehow, I think there is another verse somewhere, anybody know it? There are threads on this which I have read but which don't answer this question. Thanks.

QUEEN OF HEARTS
Cynthia Gooding, Queen of Hearts (Elektra, at a guess?)

To the queen of hearts he's the ace of sorrow
He's here today, he's gone tomorrow
Young men are plenty but sweethearts few
If my love leaves me what shall I do?

Had I the store in yonder mountain
Where gold and silver is there for counting
I could not count for thought of thee
My eyes so full I could not see

I love my father, I love my mother
I love my sister, I love my brother
I love my friends and relatives too
I'll forsake them all and go with you

My father left me both house and land
And servants many at my command
At my commandment they ne'er shall be
I'll forsake them all and go with thee.

To the queen of hearts is the ace of sorrow
He's here today, he's gone tomorrow
Young men are plenty but sweethearts few
If my love leaves me what shall I do?
