On Springfield Mountain Lyrics

On springfield mountain there did dwell
A handsome youth i loved him well
He gave to me my life and death
He took it all away with him
On springfield mountain i loved you well
More than you loved me no more to tell
On springfield mountain rain will fall
Where once you loved me most of all
More than the starlight though it is true
Never as much as i loved you

As hearts grow cold and love grows old
And memories fade in distant time
You'll love another and another
Will have a love that once was mine
On springfield mountain i loved you well
More than you loved me no more to tell
More than the starlight god knows it's true
Never as much as i loved you
