One I Love
[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
One, I love
Two, he loves
Three, he's true to me

[Verse 2]
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 and the sea
Then they might part my love and me

[Chorus]
One, I love
Two, he loves
Three, he's true to me

[Verse 3]
Over the mountains he must go
Because his fortune is so low
With an achin' heart and a troubled mind
For leavin' his love so far behind
[Chorus]
One, I love
Two, he loves
Three, he's true to me

[Verse 4]
It's when I'm awake I find no rest
Until your head lies on my breast
And when I'm asleep I'm a-dreamin' of
My one, my dear, my absent love

[Chorus]
One, I love
Two, he loves
Three, he's true to me

[Outro]
One
Two
Three
