Are You Going To Leave Me Lyrics

Are You Going To Leave Me lyrics

Are you going to leave me, love?

Are you going to leave me?

Would you give up your own love true?

To go with a girl you never knew



My true love stands in the bower door

Combing down his yellow hair

His bonnie face, I like to see

I wonder if my love thinks of me



When I wore my apron low

Couldn't keep you from my door

But now my apron's to my shin

You pass me by and won't come in



I wish my baby, it was born

Smiling on his daddy's knee

And I a poor girl, dead and gone

And the green grass growing over me



Now there's a bird in young church yard

They say he's blind and cannot see

I wish it'd been the same with me

Before I kept your company



I wish, I wish but it's all in vain

I wish I was a maid again

But a maid again, I will never be

Since that young man lay still with me



Are you going to leave me, love?

Are you going to leave me?

Would you give up your own love true?

To go with a girl you never knew
