Now, once I held with fond affection
One whose ways were dear to me
Till his ways turned a new direction
And he no longer speaks to me

Now go and leave me if you wish to
Never let me cross your mind
If you think I've been unworthy
Go and leave me I don't mind

Many's the night that you lie sleeping
Dreaming in your sweet repose
While I lie in dreary slumber
Thinking on the wind that blows

Now here's the ring that you once gave me
When our arms they were entwined
Give it to that dark-eyed lady
She'll never know it once was mine
