Oh How Your Love Is Strong - Bert Jansch

Hey girl, oh how your love is strong

Weaves a tumble-in' tearless song

Tho' you don’t seem to care that you love is blind

You don’t seem to care nor realise

Hey girl, oh how my heart is torn

Hey girl, now that your baby’s born

What shall it cost?

Is my freedom lost?

What is the price of nature’s own way

Hey girl, how could I dress your child

When this life girl I’m livin' so wild?

Will your newborn child grow to be as wild?

And walk alone to meet his destiny?

Hey girl, see how I stand a man

Hey girl, see I’ve no father’s hand

Would it be a crime to leave at such a time

When you’ve many claims to make on me?

Hey girl, oh how your love is strong

Weaves a tumble-in' tearless song

Tho' you don’t seem to care that you love is blind

You don’t seem to care nor realise
