One, I Love - Karan Casey

One, I love

Two, she loves

And three, she’s true to me All of my friends fell out with me Because I kept your company

Let them say whatever they will

I love my love with a free good will

(Chorus)

They tell me he’s poor, they tell me he’s young

I tell them all to hold their tongue

If they could part the sand from the sea

They never could part my love from me

(Chorus)

It’s over the mountain he must go Because his fortune is too low

With an aching heart and a troubled mind

He’s leaving his own true love behind

(Chorus)

When I’m awake, I find no rest

Until his head lies on my breast

When I’m asleep I’m dreaming of My one, my dear, my own true love

(Chorus)

And when the fire to ice will run

When the tide no longer turns

When the rocks melt with the sun

My love for you will have just begun

(Chorus)
