I Wish, I Wish Songtext
von Charity Children

I wish, I wish
But it′s all in vain
I wish I were a maid again
But a maid again I will never be
Till apples grow on an orange tree

And I wish my baby it was born
And smiling on it's papa′s knee
Am I to be in yon churchyard
With long green grass growing over me?

And I wish, I wish
But it's all in vain
I wish I were a maid again
But a maid again I will never be
Till apples grow on an orange tree

When my apron strings hung low
He followed me through frost and snow
But now my aprons to my chin
He passes by and says nothing


And I wish, I wish
But it's all in vain
I wish I were a maid again
But a maid again I will never be
Till apples grow on an orange tree

Oh grief, oh grief I′ll tell you why
That girl has more gold than I
More gold than I and beauty and fame
But she will come like me again

And I wish, I wish
But it′s all in vain
I wish I were a maid again
But a maid again I will never be
Till apples grow on an orange tree

And I wish, I wish
But it's all in vain
I wish I were a maid again
But a maid again I will never be
Till apples grow on an orange tree
