Why Does Thou Turn Away

Why dost thou turn away fair maid
Shall I be loveless ever
Oh swain, for I have heard it said
that thou did’st love me never, never

Echo, thou lyest, thou lyest, thou lyest
I have loved thee truest of any
Away, false man, I know thou lov’st
I know thou lov’st too many

Shall I for all my vows and tears
be thus rejected ever
The fool, he always jealous wears
Yet is he constant never, never

Echo, thou lyest, thou lyest, thou lyest
I have loved thee, most ungrateful
The man that once his friend doth wrong
his cause is ever hateful
