FLANDERS & SWANN


The Youth Of The Heart Lyrics

Swann: When I was a young man, I hadn't a penny, "When shall we marry?", my Molly would say. But I was a wise man and said to my darling, "Love that is true love will not fade away".

CHORUS: Oh, the youth of the heart, And the dew in the mornin'. You wake, and they've left you, Without any warnin'.

I went to America looking for money, I worked all the day and I slept all alone. The sweet silver dollars I saved for my darling, To clothe her in satin and make her my own.

[CHORUS]

I came back to Ireland, my pockets a-jingle, And the wedding bells rang as I came down the street. "Oh, where is the colleen I've come back to marry?", I asked the first neighbour I happened to meet.

[CHORUS]

"Your love has grown weary of keeping her kisses, And learning a song that will never be sung. This morning, your Molly has married another, A penniless man with a heart that is young".

[CHORUS]

So all you young lovers all ready to marry, Remember my story and mind what I say. For I was a wise man, and now I am sorry, The wisdom of winter is madness in May.

[CHORUS]
