SONG
[Long have we parted been]
Long have we parted been
Longsome and lonesome
No one to cheer the scene
None but Miss Bl*ns*me
Lassie lie near me
Cuddle and cheer me
Love dont live so lonesome
But come and lie near me
Longsome and lonesome
No one to cheer the scene
None but Miss Bl*ns*me
Lassie lie near me
Cuddle and cheer me
Love dont live so lonesome
But come and lie near me
I' the Bastilles o' hell
Bloody & dreary
Bloody tales captives tell
Lonely & weary
I have been where they fell
Wounded and weary
Now I wi' freedom dwell
Lassie come near me
Bloody & dreary
Bloody tales captives tell
Lonely & weary
905
Wounded and weary
Now I wi' freedom dwell
Lassie come near me
Kisses are sweet my Love
Thy cherry Lips cheer me
Sweet as one hope above
Heaven loves near thee
Tis hell to be parted thus
Come love & hear me
Give me thy bosoms buss
Lassie lie near me
Thy cherry Lips cheer me
Sweet as one hope above
Heaven loves near thee
Tis hell to be parted thus
Come love & hear me
Give me thy bosoms buss
Lassie lie near me
All my hearts anguish
And long I've endured it
In prison to languish
Thy smiles love has cured it
True love and lassie dear
Turn back & hear me
Thy white bosoms heaven near
Lassie come near me
And long I've endured it
In prison to languish
Thy smiles love has cured it
True love and lassie dear
Turn back & hear me
Thy white bosoms heaven near
Lassie come near me
