I Wish ringtone on your mobile phone

A bold young farmer courted me

He gained my heart and liberty

He gained my heart and good free will

I must confessI love him still

I must confess I love him still


I wish, I wish, I wish in vain

I wish I was a maid again

A maid again I ne'er shall be

For that young farmer lay with me.


There is a house in yonder town

Where my love goes and sits him down

He takes a strange girl on his knee

He tells her things he won't tell me

He tells her things he won't tell me


Chorus


There is a bird in yonder tree

Some say he's blind and cannot see

I wish it was the same with me

When first I met your company

When first I met your company


Chorus


I wish my little babe was born

And I poor girl was dead and gone

And then from love I will be free

With green grass growing over me

With green grass growing over me


Chorus


A bold young farmer courted me

He gained my heart and liberty

He gained my heart and good free will

I must confess I love him still

I must confess I love him still


Chorus
