Connie Dover — Laddie, Lie Near Me lyrics

Lyrics

Long have we parted been,
Laddie, my dearie,
Now we have met again,
Laddie, lie near me.
Long have I sought thee,
Thy face to cheer me,
Dear has it cost me,
Laddie, lie near me.
Near me, near me Laddie, lie near me Now we have met again
Laddie, lie near me Here in the firelight,
What joy to see thee
All the long winter night,
Laddie, lie near me All that I have endured,
Laddie, my dearie,
Here in thy arms is cured,
Laddie, lie near me.
My heart will never stray,
Never deceive thee,
Delight shall drive care away,
Laddie, lie near me.
