The Bride & The Bachelor

Oh, you will want to know where I am now
You know my dear
I was in the cherry tree when mother said to me
"You are only seventeen, you don't know what it means"
So I climbed down and picked the cherries that fell to the ground

I can't carry it alone
So I'll bury it like bones

Oh, you are only seventeen, you don't know what to fear
And all we know is what we have to hold and call my dear
And I will want to know where you are if you're far or near
And I don't know how loud I'll have to sing for you to hear

If I can't marry you I'll go
On my chariot of gold
There is only this I know
I will die before I'm old
