Jack and May, sweethearts were they They were engaged to be wed Many a promise Jack made her Many a love word was said But they quarreled one night, as most true lovers do And she bid him not come any more She gave to him his hat, Jack started to go But he lingered to say at the door 
Chorus Tie up love’s broken cords and let us be sweethearts again Darling you know I love you to part would cause me pain So let’s forget the past, make up and kiss Make up and be lovers again 
Years rolled by, neither one was wed Then one morning Jack was found dead She cannot tell you why, but the tears roll from her eyes And she goes to the grave every day Lonesome and sad, her sweetheart is not here These words they still ring in her ears
