The White Rose

They tell me i'ts sinful to flirt
 They tell me my heart is made of stone
 They tell me to speak to him kindly
 Or else leave that poor boy alone
 Willie my darling come back
 I'll always be faithful to you
 Oh Willie my darling come back
 I'll always be faithful and true
 Oh Willie she said with a sigh
 I'm afraid I will have to say no
 Oh my mama and papa are not willing
 Goodbye and they say you must go
 Oh Willie my darling come back
 I'll always be faithful to you
 Oh Willie my darling come back
 I'll always be faithful and true
 Oh darling oh darling he said
 Your heart must be carved out of stone
 He took a white rose from her hair
 And he left me a standing alone
 Oh Willie my darling come back
 I'll always be faithful to you
 Oh Willie my darling come back
 I'll always be faithful and true
 Next morning poor Willie was found
 He was drowned in the pond by the mill
 Where the clear rippling waters they flow
 Thew round near the break of the hills
 Oh Willie my darling come back
 I'll always be faithful to you
 Oh Willie my darling come back
 I'll always be faithful and true
