Erik Darling - I Love My Love lyrics

Abroad as I was walking One evening in the spring I heard a maid in Bedlam So sweetly for to sing; Her chain she rattled with her hands And thus replied she: I love my love Because I know My love loves me Oh cruel were his parents Who sent my love to sea And cruel was the ship That bore my love from me: Yet I love his parents Since they're his although they've ruined me: I love my love Because I know My love loves me Just as she there sat weeping Her love he came on land Then, hearing she was in Bedlam He ran straight out of hand; He flew into her snow-white arms And thus replied he: I love my love Because I know My love loves me She said: My love don't frighten me, are you my love or no? O yes, my dearest Nancy, I am your love, also I am returned to make amends for all your injury. I love my love Because I know My love loves me
