Lyrics A Drummer Won My Love - Ashley Hutchings feat. Kathryn Roberts

A drummer won my love, both strong and handsome
I let him take my heart, hold it to ransom
He quoted from The Plays, I thought him clever
I was deceived to think he'd love forever
A ring of glowing gold upon my finger
He placed with tender words, the echoes linger
So many times before this restless pilgrim
Had traveled through the land scattering hearts before him
I took a woodland walk to view my future
My troubled mind was calmed amidst this nature
No primrose did I see, I'll not forget it
The yellow bloom is gone, I won't regret it
I sat down by a lake and gazed into the water
I shook my head in shame to think I had a daughter
To think I had a child with a careless absent father
I cried all the soft tears that I could gather
A drummer spurned my love, he showed no pity
He made his sparks fly around the city
There's many a heart on fire burning near me
I shall not die for love, he need not fear me
