She's Like The Swallow
- (Trad)
She's like the swallow that flies so high
She's like the river that never runs dry
She's like the sunshine on the lee shore
I love my love but love is no more
'Twas down in the garden this fair maid did go
Plucking the beautiful primrose
The more she plucked the more she did pull
Until she had her apron full
Then from these flowers she made a bed
A stony pillow was at her head
She lay down and no word she spake
Until this fair maid's heart did break
(as sung by The Spinners)
