Where have you been My one true love Since you left me here Under stars above Each night i wait When the sun goes down For you to follow The northern crown I had a lily in my hair It was crimson red You picked it yourself From our flower bed The day you told me You were leaving town And riding away from The northern crown You vowed to return On a night in july When my heart starts to yearn I look to the sky The northern crown Under the northern crown I'm going down Under the northern crown You wore a lily in your hair The one that i gave to you but you turned and walked away I swore to you my love for evermore But you laughed and turned and slammed the door The northern crown Under the northern crown I'm going down Under the northern crown I know before you left You did somebody wrong And when you came back You would take me along Now i stumble along with a loaded gun Down to the river and the setting sun I'll wait by the banks i won't make a sound You'll find me there Under the northern crown Under the northern crown I'm going down Under the northern crown
