Pretty Girl Why
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Like the ghost of someone near
She comes to haunt me in my sleep
Still I'm able to sincerely
Get her heart away from his
Pretty Girl why?
Pretty girl why not love me?
Pretty girl why?
Pretty girl why?
There she leaves me twice as lonely
As I was but yesterday
Keeping such a hold upon my thoughts
So near yet far away
Pretty Girl why?
Pretty girl why not love me?
Pretty girl why?
Pretty girl why?
The minstrel boy has gone to war
Now burdened with his father's sword
Still she doesn't see how she can give him
Piece of lips to hold
Pretty Girl why?
Pretty girl why not love me?
Pretty girl why?
Pretty girl why?
