The Bride & The Bachelor

Oh, you will want to know where I am now You know my dear I was in the cherry tree when mother said to me "You are only seventeen, you don't know what it means" So I climbed down and picked the cherries that fell to the ground I can't carry it alone So I'll bury it like bones Oh, you are only seventeen, you don't know what to fear And all we know is what we have to hold and call my dear And I will want to know where you are if you're far or near And I don't know how loud I'll have to sing for you to hear If I can't marry you I'll go On my chariot of gold There is only this I know I will die before I'm old
