That was the day when you went away
You broke my heart in the month of may
That little ring I gave to you
Was to show you dear my love was true

Sweet are the flowers of our friendship
That has bloomed our whole life through
But n'er forget though you're far away
They're blooming in my heart today

You denied your love but you proved it so
You came to see me when the sun was low
You broke my heart but you were kind
When you said oh dear you'll never be mine

Oh let me tell you what love will do
If you love a boy that don't love you
They'll break your heart they'll leave you alone
They'll roam the west so far from home
