What's the use to love you I know that I can't win

Since your love is with another it would only be a sin

What's the use to dreaming it would only make me blue

So what's the use my darling to go on loving you

We had planned that he would set you free now we know that this can never be

I know that you forgotten the happiness we knew

So what's the use my darling to go on loving you

[ steel - fiddle ]

I had hoped that you would be my own

But now it's plain to see I'll have to pace this world alone

I know that you forgotten the happiness we knew

So what's the use my darling to go on loving you
