Karliene - False Love
CAPO: 5th Fret
[Verse 1]
A Ambrisk young sailor courted me
He Fstole away my liberty
He Gstole my heart with a free good will
I Dmust confess, I love him still
[Verse 2]
Down Amin the meadows she did run
A Fgathering flowers as they sprung
GEvery sort she gave a pull
Till Dshe had gathered her apron full
[Verse 3]
When Amfirst I wore my apron low
He Ffollowed me through frost and snow
But Gnow my apron is up to my chin
He Dpasses by and says nothing
[Verse 4]
There Amis an alehouse in this town
Where Fmy love goes and sits him down
He Gtakes another girl on his knee
Why Dis not that a grief to me
[Verse 5]
Ah, Amgrieved I am and I'll tell you why
BeFcause she has more gold than I
Her Ggold will waste, her beauty blast
Poor Dgirl, she'll come like me at last
[Verse 6]
I Amwish my baby it was born
Set Fsmiling on its father's knee
And GI was dead and in my grave
And Dgreen grass growing over me
[Verse 7]
There Amis a bird all in yonder tree
Some Fsay 'tis blind, and cannot see
I Gwish it had been the same for me
Before DI had gained my love's company
[Verse 8]
There Amis a man on yonder hill
He Fhas a heart as hard as steel
He Ghas two hearts instead of one
He'll Dbe a rogue when I am gone
[Verse 9]
But Amwhen they found her corpse was cold
FThey went to her false love and told
"I am Gglad" says he, "She's done so well
I Dlong to hear her funeral knell"
[Verse 10]
In AmAbraham's bosom she does sleep
While Fhis tormenting soul must weep
He Goften wished his time o'er again
DThat his bride he might make her merry
And marry her Amsoon

Karliene - False Love

CAPO: 5th Fret

[Verse 1]

A brisk young sailor courted me

He stole away my liberty

He stole my heart with a free good will

I must confess, I love him still

[Verse 2]

Down in the meadows she did run

A gathering flowers as they sprung

Every sort she gave a pull

Till she had gathered her apron full

[Verse 3]

When first I wore my apron low

He followed me through frost and snow

But now my apron is up to my chin

He passes by and says nothing

[Verse 4]

There is an alehouse in this town

Where my love goes and sits him down

He takes another girl on his knee

Why is not that a grief to me

[Verse 5]

Ah, grieved I am and I'll tell you why

Because she has more gold than I

Her gold will waste, her beauty blast

Poor girl, she'll come like me at last

[Verse 6]

I wish my baby it was born

Set smiling on its father's knee

And I was dead and in my grave

And green grass growing over me

[Verse 7]

There is a bird all in yonder tree

Some say 'tis blind, and cannot see

I wish it had been the same for me

Before I had gained my love's company

[Verse 8]

There is a man on yonder hill

He has a heart as hard as steel

He has two hearts instead of one

He'll be a rogue when I am gone

[Verse 9]

But when they found her corpse was cold

They went to her false love and told

"I am glad" says he, "She's done so well

I long to hear her funeral knell"

[Verse 10]

In Abraham's bosom she does sleep

While his tormenting soul must weep

He often wished his time o'er again

That his bride he might make her merry

And marry her soon
