Never Court But One

Never Court but One
4541

I have finished him a letter telling him he’s free!
From this moment and forever he la nothing more to ma
And my heart feels lighter #ayer, since the deed at last in done
I will teach him that while courting he should never court but one

Eversbody in the village knows that he’s been courting me
And this morning he went riding with that muer Anna Lee
And they any he suited upon her as he cantered by her side
And it warrant you he’s promised her to make her soon his bride

Now the letter It is finished, from this moment he is free
He may have her If he wants her, if he loves her more than me
He may wo It will not kill me, and I’d say the same, so there
If I knew it was just Birting it is more than I can bear

It was twilight in the evening when he said he’d
Visit me, But perhaps he’s now with Anne
He may stay there, too, for me
And as sure as I am living
If he ever courts her more
I will act as if we never, never, never met before
It is time he should be coming and I wonder it he wil
If he does I’ll act so coldly-what’s yon shadow on the hillt
I declare, and in the twilight, there is some one coming near,
And I pray is him a-coming Oh, why did I act queer?

Now, I almost wish I’d written not to him that he Is free
For perhaps it was a story that he rode with Anna
There he’s coming through the gateway meet him at the door; I will
I will tell him still I’ll love him if he’ll court Miss Lee no more
