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.
How should I your true love know
From the other one ?
By his cockle hat and staff
And his sandal shoon.
He is dead and gone, Lady,
He is dead and gone.
At his heels the grass-green turf
At his head a stone.
How should I your true love know
From the other one ?
By his cockle hat and staff
And his sandal shoon.
