Leaden Hearts - Katie Noonan

What is this place how hard is my fate?

How galling this chain round my neck?

Now I am bound to slavery

‘Til I regain my liberty

Once i was a tender child on my mother’s knee

But now I am prison bound for slavery

No pen can write, no tongue can tell

The aching heart that bids farewell

Forget me not

When this you see, remember me

Though many miles we distant be

When this you see, remember me

When this you see, remember me

Please bear me in your mind

I’ll love til death shall stop my breath

Weep not for me with this heavy heart

I am confined here with grief

Though time may fly and hopes may die

And joyful dreams may set, you I’ll never forget

May time roll on, quick though it flew

My love’s constant true to you

‘Til I am free and me you see

No pen can write, no tongue can tell

The aching heart that bids farewell

Forget me not

When this you see, remember

Though many miles we distant be

When this you see, remember me

When this you see, remember me

Let not absence banish our love

Cause I’ll love til death shall stop my breath

I’ll love til death shall stop my breath
