Fair and True

Oh the Earth has dirtied this lonesome heart

And the wind has brought it to you

Oh the days are the long and the days are hard

But the life proves fair and true

Oh the seasons turn and the summer burns

And the days grow longer anew

Though you've left our home for the world to roam

My heart will go with you

Oh the Earth has dirtied this lonesome heart

And the wind has brought it to you

Oh the days are the long and the days are hard

But the life proves fair and true

And we sing, dear maiden, of days far gone

Of the loves and losses alike

Though our days of searching are long since gone

We rejoice all through the night

Oh the Earth has dirtied this lonesome heart

And the wind has brought it to you

Oh the days are the long and the days are hard

But the life proves fair and true

Oh the Earth has dirtied this lonesome heart

And the wind has brought it to you

Oh the days are the long and the days are hard

But the life proves fair and true

Oh the life proves fair and true
