If ever I do hurt you Make your willows bend If ever I deceive you Darling, do not hang your head If ever I betray you Cast shadows on your light I pray that you may pardon and forgive me by and by Oh my, baby cast another line Oh my, baby cast another line Cause in our greatest conquest We are but failed attempts At the heroes we once dreamt of when we were children in our beds And in our greatest triumph We cannot shake the fear That the ones that we most treasure May had any given second disappear my dear, may you never disappear my dear, may we never disappear Cause we are all just animals living in the wild but we too can be civil friends I'd like to try that now I'd like to try that now Cause I know that I don't deserve you But if I ever dare forget May you help my heart remember and bring me home again
