The Youth Of The Heart - Flanders & Swann[00:00:01]
When I was a young man, I hadn't a penny,[00:00:05]
When shall we marry?,[00:00:09]
My Molly would say.[00:00:10]
But I was a wise man and said to my darling,[00:00:12]
Love that is true love will not fade away[00:00:17]
Oh, the youth of the heart,[00:00:23]
And the dew in the mornin'.[00:00:26]
You wake, and they've left you,[00:00:29]
Without any warnin'.[00:00:32]
I went to America looking for money,[00:00:39]
I worked all the day and I slept all alone.[00:00:42]
The sweet silver dollars I saved for my darling,[00:00:46]
To clothe her in satin and make her my own.[00:00:51]
Oh, the youth of the heart,[00:00:56]
And the dew in the mornin'.[00:01:00]
You wake, and they've left you,[00:01:02]
Without any warnin'.[00:01:06]
I came back to Ireland, my pockets a-jingle,[00:01:13]
And the wedding bells rang[00:01:16]
As I came down the street.[00:01:18]
Oh, where is the colleen[00:01:21]
I've come back to marry?[00:01:22]
I asked the first neighbour[00:01:24]
I happened to meet.[00:01:27]
Oh, the youth of the heart,[00:01:30]
And the dew in the mornin'.[00:01:33]
You wake, and they've left you,[00:01:36]
Without any warnin'.[00:01:40]
Your love has grown weary[00:01:47]
Of keeping her kisses,[00:01:49]
And learning a song that will never be sung.[00:01:51]
This morning, your Molly has married another,[00:01:54]
A penniless man with a heart that is young.[00:01:58]
Oh, the youth of the heart,[00:02:04]
And the dew in the mornin'.[00:02:07]
You wake, and they've left you,[00:02:11]
Without any warnin'.[00:02:15]
So all you young lovers all ready to marry,[00:02:22]
Remember my story and mind what I say.[00:02:25]
For I was a wise man, and now I am sorry,[00:02:30]
The wisdom of winter is madness in May.[00:02:36]
Oh, the youth of the heart,[00:02:43]
And the dew in the mornin'.[00:02:47]
You wake, and they've left you,[00:02:51]
Without any warnin'.[00:02:55]
