I've searched the web a few times for this, but nowt.

At Beverley FF in the late 80s / early 90s I heard Sarah Grey sing, as near as I can transcribe them, the following lyrics. Can anyone tell me anything more about the song, and/or correct the lyrics that are obviously wrong (because they break the rhyming scheme):

Love Is Like A Trusted Friend (putative title)

I'll give to you my heart in hand,
To wish you well in foreign land;
All the secrets of my heart
I want you to know, before we start.
(repeat last line)

My dearest dear, I love you well;
I love you more than tongue can tell;
All my friends, and relations too,
I'd leave them all for to go with you.

Grass is green, the rose is red,
You are my love 'til I am dead;
When I'm gone and laid to rest
Remember the one who loves you best.

Some will have clothes, and some have stones,
some will weep, and some will mourn,
Some will lie, for the lovers cry,
But in our graves, we all must lie.

Some will weep, in sorrow grave,
For the loss of one who cannot stay;
If he's gone, they can but know
Little what makes you love them so.

Just one thing my love has told:
Love is like a ring of gold -
Round and pure and has no end,
My love is like a trusted friend.

Sung by Sarah Grey.
