Queen of Hearts / Royal Tea Songtext
von Sierra Hull

To the queen of hearts is the ace of sorrow
He′s here today and he's gone tomorrow
Young men are plenty but sweethearts few
If my lover leaves me, what shall I do?


Had I a store in yonder mountain
Where gold and silver were there for counting
But I could not count for the thought of thee
My eyes so full, I could not see.

I love my father, I love my mother,
I love my sister, and my brother,
I love my friends, and my relatives too,
I′ll forsake them all and go with you.

To the queen of hearts is the ace of sorrow
He's here today and he's gone tomorrow
Young men are plenty but sweethearts few
If my lover leaves me, what shall I do?
