Lankum - Newcastle Lyrics

[Verse 1]Come you not from Newcastle?Come you there far away?Oh met you not my true loveWho dwells near Dublin bay?[Chorus]Why should I not love my love?Why shouldn't my love love me?Why should I not speed after herSince love to all is free?[Verse 2]Her father, once my true friendNow turns me from the doorHer mother owed me worthyNow bids me love no more[Chorus]Why should I not love my love?Why shouldn't my love love me?Why should I not speed after herSince love to all is free?[Verse 3]Her squire, once my true friendBut now my rival beWhile I, Willie, madly wail awayTo sail the stormy sea[Chorus]Why should I not love my love?Why shouldn't my love love me?Why should I not speed after herSince love to all is free?[Verse 4]In spite of flame and dangerWith Willie she will roamMy arms her safe defendersHer breast my happy home[Chorus]Why should I not love my love?Why shouldn't my love love me?Why should I not speed after herSince love to all is free?
