I Wonder What's Keeping My True Love Tonight?

I wonder what's keeping my true love tonight
 I wonder what's keeping her out of my sight
 It is little she knows of the pain that I endure
 Or she would not stay from me this night, I am sure
 Oh love, are you coming your cause to advance?
 Oh love, are you waiting for a far better chance?
 Or have you got a sweetheart laid by you in store?
 And you're coming to tell me that you love me no more?
 Oh love, I'm not coming my cause to advance
 And love, I'm not waiting for a far better chance
 But I have got a sweetheart laid by me in store
 And I'm coming to tell you that I love you no more
 For 'tis I can love lightly and 'tis I can love long
 And 'tis I can love the old love 'til the new love comes along
 I just said that I loved you for to set your mind at ease
 But when I'm far from you, I'll love whom I please
 Well, I've gold in my pocket and I've love in my heart
 But I can't love a maiden who has got two sweethearts
 Your love, it lies as lightly as the dew upon a thorn
 Comes down in the evening, goes away in the morn
 Green grass, it grows bonny, spring water runs clear
 I am weary and lonesome for the love of my dear
 You're my first and false true love and 'tis lately I knew
 That the fonder I loved you, the falser you grew
