We have met and we have parted
We have spoke our last goodbye
You have proved to me falsehearted
You may now forever go
You have wrecked the heart I've cherished
You have doomed me day by day
You are false, but I forgive you
To forget you, I cannot stay
For I love you, dear, I love you
More than all this world I know
You have proved to me falsehearted
You may now forever go
[Instrumental break]
On the river bank I'll loiter
Till I'll see your face once more
Then I'll plunge beneath the water
And I'll land on some far shore
And among the trees and bushes
Where the dark green willow waves
In the cold and silent rushes
There you'll find my lonely grave
For I love you, dear, I love you
More than all this world I know
You have proved to me falsehearted
You may now forever go
Oh, I wish I was white marble
Cold and white on some white shore
This poor heart would cease from troubling
And I'd feel the pain no more
For I love you, dear, I love you
More than all this world I know
You have proved to me falsehearted
You may now forever go
