Green grow the laurels, soft as the dew,
Sad I was, darling, on parting from you.
Perhaps in the future our love will renew,
We’ll love one another and promise to be true.

I once had a sweetheart but now I've got none,
They've gone and they've left me to weep and to mourn.
They've gone and they've left me contended I'll be,
For I'll find another far better than thee.

They pass my window both early and late,
The looks that they give me it makes my heart break.
The looks that he gives me a thousand times o'ver,
Says you are the sweetheart I once did adore.

I wrote a letter, they wrote me mine,
I wrote a letter, they wrote me mine.
Said: Keep your love letters, I will keep mine,
Said: Keep your love letters, I will keep mine,
