There are even rumours that it is a complete hoax, brought into being by a young American named Randy Newman, long before he himself outfamed this song and everyone who ever sang it. If this is true, he never claimed the joke, nor the royalties when The Simple Minds took the melody for their mega-selling hitsingle 'Belfast Child' D, C, G, D,DMy young love said to me My mCother don't mDindAnd my father won't sligh youFor yCour lack of kDind And she lCaid her hand oDn me And tChis is she did sAmay It wCill not be long lDove Till oCur wedding dDayD, C, Am, C, D, C, G, D And she went away from me She moves through the fair And fondly I watched her Move here and move there And then she went homeward Only one star awake Like a swan in the evening Moves over the lake Last night she came to me My dead love came in So softly she came That her feet made no din And she laid her hand on me And this she did say Oh, it will not be long love Till our wedding day
