I got a breath back with that.
There's one of our oldest love songs.
It was written by the Duke of Montrose,
and he inscribed it when he was imprisoned in Falkirk Castle.
And it's called, My Dear and Only Love.
[E] [D]
[G] [D] My [G]
[D]
dear and only love, I pray,
[G] That little [D] world be governed [G] by no other [D] sway
Than purest love.
[A]
[D] But if confusion [G] has a part
Which virtuous [A] souls abhor,
[D] I'll hold a [G] synod in [D] my heart
And [A] never love.
[D]
Like Alexander [G] I [D] would reign,
And I [A] would reign [D] alone.
My thoughts did [G] ever [D] marred his vain arrival,
O!
[A]
[D] He either [G] fears his fate [D] too much,
Or his [A] deserts are small.
[D] But there's not [G] good it [D] to the touch
[G] To gain [A] or lose it [D] all.
And in the [G] end, my heart, where I would [D] solely be,
If others [G] do pretend [D] a part,
O!
dare to vie with [A] me.
[D] Or if [G] confusion thou [D] will lift,
And go on such [A] a score,
[D] I'll laugh and sing [G] at thy neglect
And never [D] love.

But if thou wilt [G] prove [D] faithful then,
And [A] constant all [D] thy word,
I'll make thee [G] famous by [D] my pen
And glorious by [A] my song.
[D]
I'll serve thee in [G] such [D] noble ways
As never were [A] before.
[D] I'll crown and deck [G] thee [D] always
And [A] love thee ever.
