    And keep him from all danger till he returns to me
    For if in battle he be slain
    His face I never shall see
    But I hope in Heaven at last
    His soul will shine for all eternity

    “Seven years I had a sweet heart And seven more since I did him see...”

    Seven years I had a sweet heart
    And seven more since I did him see
    And seven more Ill wait upon him
    If he's alive he'll come to me

    Seven years since you had a sweet heart
    And seven more since you did him see
    And seven more you'll wait upon him
    Perhaps that young man you'd never see.
