A Drummer Won My Love Lyrics

A drummer won my love
Both strong and handsome
I let him take my heart
Hold it to ransom
He quoted from the plays
I thought him clever
I was deceived to think he'd love forever
A ring of fools-gold upon my finger
He placed with tender words
The echoes ring [?]
So many times before
This restless pilgrim
Had traveled through the lands
Scattering hearts before him

I took a woodland walk
To view my future
My troubled mind was calmed
Amidst this nature
The primrose did I see
I'll not forget it
The everbloom is gone
I won't regret it
T sat down by the lake
I gazed into the water
I shook my head in shame
To think I had a daughter
To think I had a child
With a careless absent father
I cried all the salt tears
That time could gather
A drummer spurned my love
He showed no pity
He [???]
Around the city
He set [her?] heart afire
Burning near me
I shall not die for love
He need not fear me
