The Queen Of Hearts Lyrics - The Moral Of The Elephant - Eliza Carthy

To the queen of hearts he's the ace of sorrow 

He's here today and he's gone tomorrow 

Young men are plenty, but sweethearts few 

If my love leaves me what shall I do. 

Had I the store in yonder mountain 

Where gold and silver is there for countin' 

I would not count for the heart of thee 

Mine eyes so full I could not see. 

My father left me both house and land 

And servants many at my command 

At my command they ne'er shall be 

I'll forsake them all and go with thee.
