Gone Till the Evening - 187 Jayo

They came down from the mountain They strayed too long from the fountain And all the while, All the while they longed for us But I won't betray, no I Won't betray, no I Won't betray our water No I won't betray, no I Won't betray, no I Won't betray our water Till the water's all long gone And you, my sweet flower And how you grew more sweet by the hour And loathed was I, Loathed was I to lose you My tender rose My limber rose My slender lulling daughter My tender rose My slender rose My limber loving daughter But the daughters long, long gone They came down from the mountain They strayed too long from the fountain Oh my girl, oh my love I've lost you But I won't betray, no I Won't betray, no I Won't betray our water No I won't betray, no I Won't betray, no I Won't betray our water Till the water's all long gone
