Bella Hardy - True Hearted Girl Lyrics
When I was on horseback, wasn't I prettyWhen I was on horseback at the break of the dayWasn't I pretty when I rode from the cityAnd met with my downfall on the first day of MayCome mother, come father, and sit down beside meCome sit down beside me and hear my sad caseFor my poor heart it is breaking, and my head it is achingAnd my soldier has left me in shame and disgraceWhy couldn't he tell me before he disordered meWhy didn't he tell me his secret in timeFor I could have bought pills, and the salts of white mercuryBut now I am done for, and cut down in my primeSo beat the drum slowly, and play the pipes lowlyPlay me a dead march as we come alongAnd lift my wretched body and lay me down easyI'm a true hearted girl, never meant to do wrong
