Lovely my lovely
So pretty and clean
I shall return girl
And a man I will be
This ragged boy rambles
Far and away
And to you I’ll be returning
some long summers day

Lovely oh lovely
So pretty and clean
You’d never believe
The things I have seen
Terrible and beautiful
And all between

Lovely sweet lovely
I’ve come to settle down
Here is my heart
And here is my crown

Lovely my lovely
Don’t turn away
I told you I’d return
One long summers day

Lovely my lovely
So pretty and clean
Those tears in your eye
I know just what they mean
Away I will go
So dry away your eyes
Never would it do to see my lovely cry
