Come all ye maids who 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,
My heart is with you all together
Though I live not where I love.
When I sleep I dream about you
When I wake I find no rest,
Every moment thinking of you
My heart fixed within your breast.
Though great distance may prove assistance
From my mind your love to remove
My heart is with you all together
Though I live not where I love.
All the world should be one religion
All living things should cease to die
If ever I prove false to my jewel
Any way my love deny!
The world would change and be most strange
If ever I inconstant prove,
My heart is with you all together
Though I live not where I love.
So farewell lads and fare ye well lasses
Now I think I've got my choice,
I'll away to yonder island
Where I think I hear your voice.
If you call then I will follow
Though the ocean be so wide,
My heart is with you all together
Though I live not where I love.
