lyrics

Abroad as I was walking,
One evening in the spring,
I heard a maid in Bedlam
So sweetly for to sing.
Her chain she rattled in her hand,
and thus replied she:
I love my love, because I know
My love loves me.

O, my cruel parents
Have been too unkind,
For they drove and punished me
And troubled my mind.
And though I'm ruined for his love,
Contented will I be.
I love my love, because I know
My love loves me.

Would I become a swallow,
Ascend into the air,
And if I lost my lover
And could not find him there -
I quickly would become a fish
And search the flowing sea.
I love my love, because I know
My love loves me.

With straw I'll make a garland
And dress it very fine.
I'll fix the same with roses,
Lily pink, and tine.
I will preserve it for my love
When he returns from sea.
I love my love, because I know
My love loves me.

As she sat sadly weeping,
Her love came on the land.
Hearing she was in Bedlam,
He ran straight out of hand
And as he entered into the gates
He heard her sigh and say:
I love my love, because I know
My love loves me.

He stood and gazed on her,
Hearing his love complain.
He could not stand any longer -
He bled in every vein.
He flew into her snowy white arms
And thus replied he:
I love my love, because I know
My love loves me.
