I Will Walk with My Love

I once loved a boy
And a bold Irish boy
Who would come and would go
At my request
And this bold Irish boy
Was my pride and my joy
And I built him a bower
In my breast
But this girl who has taken
My bonny, bonny boy
Let her make of him
All that she can
And whether he loves me
Or loves me not
I will walk with my love
Now and then
