Lyrics to Some Rival

Some rival has stolen my true love away

So I in old England no longer can stay

I will swim the wide ocean around my fair breast

To find out my true love, the one I love the best



And when I have found out my joy and delight

I will welcome him kindly by day and by night

For the bells shall be ringing and the drums make a noise

For to welcome my true love with ten thousand joys



Here's a health to all lovers that are loyal and just

Here's confusion to the rival that lives in distrust

For it's I'll be as constant as a true turtle dove

And it's never will I prove false to my love



(repeat first verse)
