Asonance

1. As I came in by yon rushy wood
what spied I at my true loves door
my heart stood still me eyes grew blind
for to see my bonnie lad leave me behind.
R: And will ye gang love and leave me now
will ye gang love and leave me now
will ye foresake your own love true
and gang wi' a lass that you never knew.
2. As I came in by yon lenten wend
I spied another my love attend
I bowed my head I cried achon
the best of my good days are gone.
R:
3. And will I tell you the reason why
because she's got more gold than I
and I will tell you the reason true
the sweeter taste of a love that's new.
R:
4. I leaned my back against an oak
thinking it was a trusty tree
but first it bent and then it broke
and so has my love done unto me.
R:
5. And if you love me we'll never part
and instead of gold you can have my heart
you can have my heart with a right good will
you're a bonnie laddie I love you still.
R:
