Songtexte Fond Affection (Remastered) - The Carter Family

Once I loved your fond affection
All my hopes on you was spent
Till a dark eyed girl persuaded
And you cared no more for me

Go on and leave me if you wish to
Never let me cross your mind
In your heart you love another
Never on earth will I call you mine

Yodel-ay-ee-oh, lay-ee-ay, oh-lay-ee

When I'm dead and in my coffin
And my pale face toward the sun
Will you come and sit beside me
And think of what you have done

Go on and leave me if you wish to
Never let me cross your mind
In your heart you love another
Never on earth will I call you mine

Yodel-ay-ee-oh, lay-ee-ay, oh-lay-ee

When I'm dead and in my coffin
And the shroud about me bound
Will you come and scatter roses
Upon your lover's mound

Go on and leave me if you wish to
Never let me cross your mind
In your heart you love another
Never on earth will call I you mine

Yodel-ay-ee-oh, lay-ee-ay, oh-lay-ee
