[Chorus]
And I truly understand
That you love another man
And your heart shall no longer be mine

I wish to the Lord I'd never been born
Or died when I was young
Than seen them two brown eyes of yours
Or heard that flattering tongue, my dear
Or heard that flattering tongue

[Repeat Chorus]

Now who's gonna shoe your pretty little foot
Who's gonna glove your hand
Now who's gonna kiss your ruby red lips
When I'm in the foreign land, my dear
When I'm in the foreign land

[Repeat Chorus]

Notes: I Found the song on a Peggy Seeger album. It's intriguing because of its unusual rhythmic and harmonic cadences and melodic line. There'a a mixing of two traditional styles that makes it sound fresh.
