The White Rose

They tell me i’ts sinful to flirt
They tell me my heart is made of stone
They tell me to speak to him kindly
Or else leave that poor boy alone
Willie my darling come back
I’ll always be faithful to you
Oh Willie my darling come back
I’ll always be faithful and true
Oh Willie she said with a sigh
I’m afraid I will have to say no
Oh my mama and papa are not willing
Goodbye and they say you must go
Oh Willie my darling come back
I’ll always be faithful to you
Oh Willie my darling come back
I’ll always be faithful and true
Oh darling oh darling he said
Your heart must be carved out of stone
He took a white rose from her hair
And he left me a standing alone
Oh Willie my darling come back
I’ll always be faithful to you
Oh Willie my darling come back
I’ll always be faithful and true
Next morning poor Willie was found
He was drowned in the pond by the mill
Where the clear rippling waters they flow
Thew round near the break of the hills
Oh Willie my darling come back
I’ll always be faithful to you
Oh Willie my darling come back
I’ll always be faithful and true
