He courted her gently for twelve months and more, Then one night on his bay he rode up to her door. And his spurs went jingle-jangle. Their music made her heart sing: Jingle-jingle-jangle. She rose up and she let him in. And all through that night, as the stars rose and fell, They slept in that place only first love can dwell; But he dressed with the dawn, rode off down the track. She did not call out and he did not look back. But his spurs went jingle-jangle, Ringing through the gray dawn: Jingle-jingle-jangle. She stood there until he was gone. He 'listed in Sydney, was shipped off to France. He found some futile forgotten advance, And though his face is now a shadow from a faraway time, Sometimes in her dreams a sound still haunts her mind: Jingle-jingle-jangle, Echoing down through the years. His spurs go jingle-jangle And her pillow is wet with her tears. Jingle-jingle-jangle, Echoing down through the years— His spurs go jingle-jangle And her pillow is wet with her tears. Her pillow is wet with her tears. |
