Classic Poem

'Twas over hills and over dales
Through lonesome woods and valleys
When my true love was sent from me
All out of spite and malice.

I went unto my true love's house
Inquiring for my dearest,
But the answer that was give to me,
" I have no daughter near me."

But hearing of her true love's voice
She looked out of the window,
Saying, " I can't be in your sweet company
For locks and bolts doth prevent me."

The locks he broke in pieces three
And the door he split asunder.
Soon as he entered his true love's room
So quickly did he gain her.

True love's for ever and I'll endure
And so will I for ever,
Till fatal death does destroy my breath
We'll live and die together.

True love's for ever and I'll endure
And so will I for ever.
Let every man be as true as me,
Take one and fight for the other.
