Based on the traditional song "Fond Affection."
You gave back my true love letters
And the picture I loved so well
In the town we meet as strangers
But I still can’t say farewell
Once you loved with fond affection
Once your thoughts were all of me
Now you’ve gone to seek another
And you care no more for me
I still have the ring you gave me
On a ribbon ‘round my throat
And this ring is all that’s left me
And false letters that you wrote
Once you loved with fond affection
Once your thoughts were all of me
Now you’ve gone to seek another
And you care no more for me
