I dreamt I dwelt in marble hallsWith vassals and serfs at my sideAnd of all who assem bledwithin those wallsThat I was the hope and the prideI had riches too great to countAnd a high ancestral nameBut I also dreamt witchpleased me mostThat you loved me still the sameThat you loved meyou loved me still the sameThat you loved meyou loved me still the sameI dreamt that suitorssought my handThat knights with bended kneesWith vows no maiden'sheart world with standThey pledged their faith to meI dreamt that one of thenoble hostsCame forth my hand to claimBut I also dreamt whichcharmed me mostThat you loved me still the sameThat you loved meyou loved me still the sameThat you loved meyou loved me still the same
I wish my love was a red, red rose growing in yon garden fair And I to be the gardener, of her I would take care There's not a month throughout the year, but my love I'd renew I'd garnish her with flowers fine, sweet William, Thyme and Rue
I wish I was a butterfly, I'd light on my love's breast And if I was a blue cuckoo, I'd sing my love to rest And if I was a nightingale, I'd sing the daylight clear I'd sit and sing with you, Molly, for once I loved you dear
I wish I was in Dublin town and seated on the grass In my right hand, a jug of punch, and on my knee, a lass I'd call for liquor freely and I'd pay before I'd go I'd roll my Molly in my arms, let the wind blow high or low
One I love, two she loves Three she’s true to me All of my friends fell out with me Because I kept your company But let them say whatever they will I love my love with a free good will One I love, two she loves And three she’s true to me They tell me he’s poor, they tell me he’s young I tell them all to hold their tongue If they could part the sand from the sea They never could part my love from me One I love, two she loves Three she’s true to me When I’m awake, I find no rest Until his head lies on my breast When I’m asleep I’m dreaming of My own, my dear, my one true love One I love, two she loves Three she’s true to me When the fire to ice will run And when the tide no longer turns And when the rocks melt with the sun My love for you will have just begun One I love, two she loves Three she’s true to me One I love, two she loves And three she’s true to me
