I'll Come To Thee
One kiss, my bonny sweetheart
I'm after a prize tonight
But I shall be back with the yellow gold
Before the morning light
Yet, if they press me sharply, and harry me through the day
Then look for me by moonlight
Watch for me by moonlight
I'll come to thee by moonlight
Though hell should bar the way
Oh, bess, my bonny sweetheart
Light of my crooked life
I'll bring you back that yellow gold
And make you a bonny wife
Oh, don't cry for me, darling
(Don't cry for me)
It's the last time you hear me say
(Last time you hear me say)
To look for me by moonlight
Watch for me by moonlight
I'll come to thee by moonlight
Tomorrow we'll be
One kiss, my bonny sweetheart
I'm after a prize tonight
But I shall be back with the yellow gold
Before the morning light
Yet, if they press me sharply, and harry me through the day
Then look for me by moonlight
Watch for me by moonlight
I'll come to thee by moonlight
Though hell should bar the way
