O once I had a true love	A
As blest as I could be	B
Patty was my turtle dove	A
And Patty she loved me	B
We walked the fields together	C
By roses and woodbine	D
In Summer's sunshine weather	C
And Patty she was mine	D
	-
We stopped to gather primroses	E
And violets white and blue	F
In pastures and green closes	G
All glistening with the dew	F
We sat upon green mole hills	H
Among the daisy flowers	I
To hear the small birds' merry trills	I
And share the sunny hours	I
	-
The blackbird on her grassy nest	J
We would not scare away	K
Who nuzzling sat with brooding breast	J
On her eggs for half the day	K
The chaffinch chirruped on the thorn	D
And a pretty nest had she	B
The magpie chattered all the morn	D
From her perch upon the tree	B
	-
And I would go to Patty's cot	L
And Patty came to me	B
Each knew the other's very thought	M
Under the hawthorn tree	B
And Patty had a kiss to give	N
And Patty had a smile	O
To bid me hope and bid me love	A
At every stopping stile	O
	-
We loved one Summer quite away	K
And when another came	P
The cowslip close and sunny day	K
It found us much the same	P
We both looked on the selfsame thing	Q
Till both became as one	D
The birds did in the hedges sing	Q
And happy time went on	D
	-
The brambles from the hedge advance	I
In love with Patty's eyes	I
On flowers like ladies at a dance	I
Flew scores of butterflies	I
I claimed a kiss at every stile	O
And had her kind replies	I
The bees did round the woodbine toil	R
Where sweet the small wind sighs	I
	-
Then Patty was a slight young thing	Q
Now she's long past her teens	I
And we've been married many springs	I
And mixed in many scenes	I
And I'll be true for Patty's sake	S
And she'll be true for mine	D
And I this little ballad make	S
To be her valentine	D
