A Simple Love Spoon a Token of Love
A Simple Love Spoon.
.
A gift for you my lovely
The fairest maiden of our valley
And a such a beauty to behold
I carved thee a love spoon
Out of a simple piece of wood
I wish that it was gold
But I be a simple peasant boy who’s poor
And you be a milkmaid
That my eyes and heart adore
.
A simple spoon but a token of my undying love
For thou art an angel
Sent from heaven up above
This spoon is all I have
I hope it’s good enough
.
One fine day I’ll go to the Americas
Far across the seas
And become a gentleman and man of means
Just wait and see
Then I’ll give all you want
A fine dress and silk ribbons for your hair
So you will look a fine lady
At the next goose fair
.
Will you then wait for me my love
Upon the meadow
Under the shade of our special tree
Where we first kissed and fell in love
And you gave yourself to me.
