SONG by ABBIE FARWELL BROWN

First Line: OH, YES, I LOVE YOU STILL, MY LAD
Last Line: I LOVE HIM STILL, MY LAD.
Subject(s): LOVE;
OH, yes, I love you still, my lad,
For that is woman's way;
A whole life long of tenderness
For the fancy of a day.

I gave you golden loyalty
And starry faith to wear.
You gave me pearls that were my tears,
And silver in my hair.

You gave me something less than good,
I gave the best I had.
But yes -- the man I thought you were,
I love him still, my lad.
