Came Ye from Newcastle

Came ye from Newcastle?
Came you not there away?
And met ye not my true love
Riding on a bonny bay?

Why should I not love my love?
Why should not my love, love me?
Why should I not speed after him
Since love to all is free?

My love is neat and handsome
My love is fair and strong
I know that my love loves me
And I know that I'm not wrong

Why should I not love my love?
Why should not my love, love me?
Why should I not speed after him
Since love to all is free?

Sometimes I wonder at my love
He's been so long away
I watch the highway daily
Looking for the bonny bay

Why should I not love my love?
Why should not my love, love me?
Why should I not speed after him
Since love to all is free?

Came ye from Newcastle?
Came you not there away?
And met ye not my true love
Riding on a bonny bay?

Why should I not love my love?
Why should not my love, love me?
Why should I not speed after him
Since love to all is free?
