I fell in love with the Shaker's daughter
She fell in love with the things that I bought her
A hatpin and pearls
A portrait from Nice
Nankeen and silk from the far far East
And it's love, oh now love
I sat by the road, she passed my way
I gave her a smile and I asked her to stay
My fiddle was fine
My apple was sweet
I offered a tune and a bite to eat
And it's love, oh now love
And she, she said to me
I don't belong to thee
Continue with your hunt
And I, I made my appeal
I said this love is real
And you're the one I want
We sat on the bank where the waters glide
Her father appeared and we could not hide
She took to her feet
Ran to his arms
Pleaded with him that she never meant harm
And it's love, oh now love
He whispered low into her ear
What he told her I could not hear
He did not bend
She turned to go
That Shaker and I we stood toe to toe
And it's love, oh now love
And she, she said to me
I don't belong to thee
Continue with your hunt
And I, I made my appeal
I said this love is real
And you're the one I want
And she, she said to me
I don't belong to thee
Continue with your hunt
And I, I made my appeal
I said this love is real
And you're the one I want
