Sheffield Park

In Sheffield Park where I did dwell

A fine young man I loved him well

He courted me my love to gain

He`s gone and left me full of pain.

Oh mother you can`t ever know

What pain and suffering I undergo

He has put me to the test

My broken heart can know no rest.

So write a letter to your love with speed

And take it to him that he may read.

No sooner had her question learnt

Into the fire he threw it to burn.

What a foolish one this girl must be

To think I love no-one but she

I do not love just her alone

It`s my delight she`s on her own.

So her mother returned without delay

To find her girl as cold as clay

Beware young girls don`t love in vain

`Cos love has broken her heart again

If you want it you can have it
