Meet me tonight, lover, meet me Meet me in the moonlight alone I have a sad story to tell you Must be told in the moonlight alone I wish I had never been born Or had died when I was young I would never have saw your sweet face Or heard your lying tongue ♪ If I had a-minded my mother I had been with her today But I was young, I was foolish And you stole my heart away If I had wings of an eagle Cross the wide sea I would fly I would fly to the arms of my darling There I would stay 'till I die
