Let Us Be Lover's Again Lyrics - The Stanley Brothers

Jack and May sweethearts were they 

They were engaged to be wed 

Many a promise he made her 

Many a love word he said 

As most lovers do they quarreled one night 

She bid him not come any more 

She gave him his hat 

Jack started away 

But he lingered to say at the door 

'Tis up these broken cords and let us be lovers again 

Darling you know I love you to part would give me pain 

Let us forget the past and make up my pet 

Make up and be lovers again 

Years rolled by neither was wed 

All of Jack's pleading was vain 

One quiet evening poor Jack was found dead 

Two lives have been wrecked for she loved oh too late
