OH, the nights were dark and cold, / When my love was gone.
And life was hard to hold / When my love was gone.
I was wise, I never gave / What they teach a girl to save, / But I wished myself his slave / When my love was gone.
I was all alone at night / When my love came home.
Oh, what thought of wrong or right / When my love came home? / I flung the door back wide / And I pulled my love inside; / There was no more shame or pride / When my love came home.
