Who will kiss your rosy cheek, When I’m in the foreign land?” “My father will shoe my feet, my love, My mother will glove my hands, And you may kiss my rosy cheek, When you return from a foreign land.” “If I prove false to you, my love, The rocks will softly melt, The sun will freeze like ice, my love, And the waves of the sea shall burn.” Also found in Child, #76, “The Lass of Roch Royal”; Randolph, Vol. I, #18, “Oh Who Will Shoe My Foot?”; Brown, Vol. II, #22, “The Lass of Roch Royal.” |
