Thread Name: Origins: Will Ye Gang Love
Subject: Lyr Add: WILL YE GANG LOVE (Black Bros.)
Lyr. Add: WILL YE GANG LOVE Trad., arr. Black Brothers
As I came in by yon rushy wood What spied I at my true love's door My heart stood still, my eyes grew blind For to see my bonnie lad leave me behind.
Chorus: And will ye gang love and leave me now Will ye gang love and leave me now Will ye forsake your own true love And gang wi' a lass that you never knew.
As I came in by yon lenten wend I spied another my love attend I bowed my head, I cried ochón The best of my good days are gone.
And I will tell you the reason why Because she's got more gold than I And I will tell you the reason true The sweeter taste of a love that's new.
I leaned my back against an oak Thinking it was a trusty tree But first it bent and then it broke And so has my love done unto me.
And if you love me we'll never part And instead of gold you can have my heart You can have my heart with a right good will You're a bonnie laddie, I love you still.
