Love of My Life (S. Celestini) Been a miner, been a sailor, been well known to the jailer To my daddy, a failure, still I done what seemed right But to her I'm just and proper, never mind I'm a pauper If she takes up my offer, gonna make her my wife She's a terra, she's a pistol, she's my crackerjack whistle Met her down to the grist mill that copper moon night I'm a little scared of her, but I tell you what, brother Wouldn't have me another, she's the love of my life Been to England, been to China, but my North Carolina Why I've never known finer a place to call home Still if she was to ask me, I'd head straight for Alasky Cuz your home's where your heart beats, and my heart she does hold
