"The False Husband"
(Isobel Campbell)

Where have you been, my darling?
Where have you been, my friend?
Where have you been, my darling?
Where have you been, my friend?

A crow flew past my window sill
Stole me away from you until
You change your heart or change your will
You are, aren't you darling?

Where have you been, my darling?
Where have you been, my friend?
Where have you been, my darling?
Where have you been, my friend?

And all the while that you would burn
Your tongue was working overtime
Love foregone and life's so good
You are, aren't you darling?

In my words I cherry picked
Something fought and died today
With all our words I dare not say
I need you darling

I've been chasing up loftier mountains
Be it against my will
You keep telling me "don't get no higher"
But I'll be higher still

I've been chasing up loftier mountains
Be it against my will
You keep telling me "don't get no higher"
But I'll be higher still

I've been chasing up loftier mountains
Be it against my will
You keep telling me "don't get no higher"
But I'll be higher still

I've been chasing up loftier mountains
Be it against my will
You keep telling me "don't get no higher"
But I'll be higher still

Where have you been, my darling
Where have you been, my friend
