Ballad for ________
(In the old style)

I wander down this long road
In search of a bonnie lass.
I wander down this long road
In search of a bonnie lass.

Her eyes are brown, her hair is black
And she a maid of Spain.
To my home I’ll take her back
And there we shall remain.

In search of a bonnie lass.

In search of a bonnie lass.

She is tall and she is fair.
She gives me quite a smile.
She who strips my heart bare
And leaves it there a while.

In search of a bonnie lass.

In search of a bonnie lass.

She is loving. She is kind.
She tells me I should rest.
The way has been oh so long
I say "I think that is best".

I’ve stayed on this long road
With my bonnie lass.

With my bonnie lass.

Her eyes are dim. Her hair is gray.
She gives me quite a smile.
She says, "I must go. You must stay.
See you in a while"

And she a maid of Spain.
