Lyrics
Come all you maids that live at a distance
Many miles from off your swain
Come and assist 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 altogether
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 e'er fixed in your breast
Although far distance may be assistance
From my mind is love to remove
Yet my heart is with him altogether
Though I live not where I love
All the world shall be one religion
Living things shall cease to die
Before that I propose to my jewel
Or any way my love deny
The world shall change and be more strange
If ever I my mind remove
For my heart is with him altogether
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 call then I will follow
Through the world though it is so wide
For my heart is with him altogether
Though I live not where I love
Come all you maids that live at a distance
Many miles from off your swain
Come and assist 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 altogether
Though I live not where I love
