I loved this little girl even then.

1. I loved this little girl even then, ; When I first spoke to her. ; She loved me for her beautiful, pretty words, ; For her hair curled on her forehead. ; ; 2. My lord judge, make a law, if possible, ; Whom I loved, will never be mine, ; //: Listen, baby, the oriole whistles, ; The judge does not command me to love. :// ; ; 3. The little angel's home is on a hill, ; Her rose tree is still visible from afar, ; A sad turtledove used to live on it, ; You are beautiful, baby, it is hard to part with you. ; ; ;
