I Live Not Where I Love Lyrics

Come all ye maids that live at a distance
Many a miles from off your swain
Come and a**ist me this very moment
For to pass away some time
Singing sweetly and completely
Songs of pleasure and of love
For my heart is with them all together
Though I live not where I love
When I sleep I dream about you
When I wake I find no rest
For every moment thinking of you
My heart affixed in your breast
Although far distance may be a**istance
From my mind his love to remove
Yet my heart is with him all together
Though I live not where I love
All the world shall be one religion
Living things shall cease to die
If ever I prove false to my jewel
Or any way my love deny
The world shall change and be most strange
If ever I my mind remove
For my heart is with him all together
Though I live not where I love
So farewell lads and farewell lasses
Now I think I've got my choice
I will away to yonder mountain
Where I think I hear his voice
And if he calls then I will follow
Though the world it is so wide
For my heart is with him all together
Thought I live not where I love

(repeat first verse)
