Lover's Quarrel

Jack and May sweethearts were they

They were engaged to be wed

Many a promise Jack made her

Many a love word was said

But they quarreled one night as most true lovers do

She bade him not come any more

She gave him his hat

Jack started to go

But he lingered to say at the door

Tie up love’s broken cords and let us be sweethearts again

Darling you know I love you to part would cause me pain

So let’s forget the past make up and kiss

Make up and be lovers again

Years rolled by and neither one was wed

And one morning Jack was found dead

She can not tell you why that the tears rolled from her eye

And she goes to the grave every day

Lonesome and sad her sweetheart is not there

His words they still ring in her ear

Tie up love’s broken cords and let us be sweethearts again

Darling you know I love you to part would cause me pain

So let’s forget the past make up and kiss

Make up and be lovers again
