20 years ago (before mudcat) the only source of lyrics open to me was what I could pinch from visiting singers. I once heard the misterious 3rd verse and then NEVER heard it again. so when I decided that I wanted to sing this song I took a liberty and wrote this verse in its place.

Oh my young love she left me for death came that night
and he took her away from the world and the light,
and the thoughts in my mind were of what she did say
that tommorrows the morning of our wedding day.

I have since of course found the missing verse but I find that I cannot imprint into my memory to replace the one that I wrote so i'm afraid I still sing my own words.
