I GAVE MY LOVE by LEXIE DEAN ROBERTSON

First Line: I GAVE MY LOVE TO A WASTREL
Last Line: I'D GIVE IT HIM AGAIN.
Subject(s): HEARTS; LOVE - COMPLAINTS; MAN-WOMAN RELATIONSHIPS; MALE-FEMALE RELATIONS;

I gave my love to a wastrel
With bonny autumn eyes,
He spent his days in foolish ways,
But, oh, his heart was wise.

He flung my love to the wanton winds,
And broke my heart in twain,
But, oh, would he come asking
I'd give it him again.
