Those middle 2 lines in the fifth verse look awfully familiar.

'Do you think I would prove false
I'd rather die in poverty'

Those commonplaces of impossibilities spring to mind....

The rocks would melt and the seas run dry etc., before I would prove false. They do occur in so many songs and go back at least to the 17th century. Where's Mick when you need him?
