Open the gates, love, open the gates, love,
Open the gates, love, Farewell!
Go to church, love, go to church, love,
Go to church, love, Farewell!
Show your ring, love, show your ring, love,
Show your ring, love, Farewell!
—Hanbury, Staffs. (Miss E. Hollis).
The trees are uncovered, uncovered, uncovered,
The trees are uncovered, Isabella, for me!
Last night when we parted we were all broken-hearted,
Isabella, Isabella, Isabella, for me!
Then give me your hand, love, your hand, love, your hand, love,
Then give me your hand, love, and a sweet kiss from you.
—Earls Heaton (Herbert Hardy).
