Queen of Hearts / Royal Tea - 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?
