Lyrics

Drifting on a summer's night Drinking that good old gin Thinking 'bout her pretty face Now she's dragged me in Her love is like the daffodils That buds in the month of May As quickly as it does bloom Fades so fast away She gave such lovely glances My heart away has gone She charmed away my senses And loved me 'til the dawn She left me in the morning At nearly half past nine Waited 'til the clouds did weep To tell me she'd never be mine How happy are the hours of love How quickly they do die My father warned me of that girl But listen did not I Some folks love to fish And others like to bowl I loved that girl and now she's gone To travel this world alone To travel this world alone
