Through Lonesome Woods

Through lonesome woods I took my way
 So dark so dark as dark can be
 The leaves were shivering on every tree
 Which don't you think was grief to me
 Don't you think was grief to me
 As I was going through Dibden town
 I saw my true love sitting down
 Saw another girl sitting on my man's knee
 Which don't you think was grief to me
 Don't you think was grief to me
 I called my true love by his name
 And up he rose and to me came
 I gave him kisses by one two three
 But none so sweet as he gave me
 None so sweet as he gave to me
 Now winter's gone, the summer's come
 The small birds from their nest is flown
 He's told me plainly unto my face
 "You're not the young girl I love best
 Not the young girl I love the best"
 Through lonesome woods then I'll make my way
 So dark so dark as dark can be
 I'll never love if not loved by thee
 Which don't you think is grief to me
 Don't you think it's grief to me
