I'd a pluck a fair rose for my love
I'd a pluck a red rose blowin?
Love's in my heart, i'm tryin' so to prove
What your heart's knowin'
I'd a pluck a finger on a thorn
I'd a pluck a finger bleedin'
Red is my heart, wounded and forlorn
And your heart needin'
I'd a hold a finger to my tongue
I'd a hold a finger waitin?
My heart is sore, until it joins in song
With your heart matin?
