as i went a walking way down by the green wood
down where the ivy and lauriel entwine
i heard a bird singing his sad plaintive love song
he mourned for his true love
as i mourned for mine

i brought my love flowers and tied all with ribbons
soon the sweet flowers were faded and gone
like the flowers my true loves`
affection has withered
which leaves me alone here
to pine and to mourn

ever the wind keep on changing their journey
ever the waves keep on changing the sea
ever green summer keep changing to autumn
my true love has changed
there is no change in me

my constant companions are sadness and sorrow
trouble has never forsakken me yet
but wherever i go `til my days are all numbered
the love of my s0ul
will never forget

ever the wind keep on changing their journey
ever the waves keep on changing the sea
ever green summer keep changing to autumn
my true love has changed
there is no change in me
