Like a Swallow
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.
He's like the swallow that flies so high
He's like the river that never runs dry
He's like the sunshine on the lee shore
He was my love, my love is no more
He was my love, my love is no more
Out in the garden, this fair man did go a-picking roses
How could he not?
The more he picked and the more he pulled
Until he got his apron full
Out of these roses, he made a bed
A stony pillow, for his head
He laid his head down, no word he spoke
Until this fair mans, heart was broke
