Turtle Dove - Sam Lee

Composed by：Sam Lee/James Keay

O can't you see the little turtle dove

Sitting under the mulberry tree

See how that she does mourn for her true love

As I shall mourn for thee my love

As I shall mourn for thee

O fare thee well my little turtle dove

And fare thee well for a while

For though you go you'll surely return

If you go ten thousand miles my love

If you go ten thousand miles

Ten thousand miles is very far away

For you to return to me

You'll leave me here to the mention well a day

My tears you will not see my love

My tears you will not see

The crow that's black my little turtle dove

Shall change it's colour white

If I prove false to the songbirds that I love

The noon day shall sound as night my love

The noon day shall sound as night

The hills shall fly my little turtle dove

The roaring billows burn

Before my heart shall suffer me to fail

Or I a traitor turn my love

Or I a traitor turn

Or I a traitor turn

Or I a traitor turn

Or I a traitor turn

Or I a traitor turn

Or I a traitor turn

Uhmmmm

The stars shall fall my little turtle dove

And the rocks melt with the sun

If I prove false to the mother that I love

Till all these things be done my love

Till all these things be done
