I'll Twine 'Mid The Ringlets Composer(s): Maud Irving; J.B. Webster Performer(s): Robin & Linda Williams; Their Fine Group
I'll twine 'mid the ringlets of my raven black hair The lilies so pale and the roses so fair The myrtle so bright with an emeral hue And the pale aronatus with eyes of bright blue
I'll sing and I'll dance, my laugh shall be gay I'll cease this wild weeping, drive sorrow away Tho' my heart is now breaking, he never shall know That his name made me tremble and my pale cheeks to glow
I'll think of him never, I'll be wildly gay I'll charm ev'ry heart, and the crowd I will sway I'll live yet to see him regret the dark hour When he won, then neglected, the frail wildwood flower
He told me he loved me, and promis'd to love Trough ill and misfortune, all others above Another has won him; ah, misery to tell He left me in silence, no word of farewell
He taught me to love him, he call'd me his flower That blossom'd for him all the brighter each hour But I woke from my dreaming, my idol was clay My visions of love have all faded away
