Newcastle Lyrics by Lankum

False Lankum

0

[Verse 1]
Come you not from Newcastle?
Come you there far away?
Oh met you not my true love
Who dwells near Dublin bay?

[Chorus]
Why should I not love my love?
Why shouldn't my love love me?
Why should I not speed after her
Since love to all is free?

[Verse 2]
Her father, once my true friend
Now turns me from the door
Her mother owed me worthy
Now bids me love no more

[Chorus]
Why should I not love my love?
Why shouldn't my love love me?
Why should I not speed after her
Since love to all is free?

[Verse 3]
Her squire, once my true friend
But now my rival be
While I, Willie, madly wail away
To sail the stormy sea

[Chorus]
Why should I not love my love?
Why shouldn't my love love me?
Why should I not speed after her
Since love to all is free?

[Verse 4]
In spite of flame and danger
With Willie she will roam
My arms her safe defenders
Her breast my happy home

[Chorus]
Why should I not love my love?
Why shouldn't my love love me?
Why should I not speed after her
Since love to all is free?
