NO MORE WILL THE SHAMROCK

1 Nae mair will the shamrock seem green, dear,
And the morning be wet wi' the dew,
Nae mair will the shamrock seem green, dear,
    If I lose my remembrance of you.
    If lose my remembrance of you, dear,
    If I lose my remembrance of you.
    Nae mair will the shamrock seem green, dear,
    If I lose my remembrance of you.

2 It’s I have but one heart for to keep, dear,
It would be madness to break it in two,
Take it all, though it be but small, dear,
For it never loved any but you.

3 When death at last us to part, dear,
And we from this world bid adieu,
The only thing left behind, dear,
Is the sweet recollection of you.
