Music Across the Water - I Live Not Where I Love

Come all you maids that live at a distance
Many a mile from off your swain
Come and assist me this very moment
For to pass away some time
Singing sweetly and completely
Songs of pleasure and of love
For my heart is with him altogether
Though I live not where I love

When I sleep I dream about you
When I wake I take no rest
For ev'ry instant thinking of you
My heart fixed in your breast
And though distance may be assistance
From my mind his love to remove
But my heart is with him altogether
Though I live not where I love

All the world shall be one religion
Living things shall cease to die
Before I prove false to my jewel
Or any way my love deny
The world shall change and be most strange
If ever my mind remove
My heart is with him altogether
Though I live not where I love

So farewell lads and farewell lasses
Now I think I've got my choice
I will away to yonder mountain
Where I think I hear his voice
And if he hollow, I will follow
Around the world though 'tis so wide
My heart is with him altogether
Though I live not where I love
