The Sun Sets

The sun sets on the water.
The sun sets on the tree.
The sun sets on my true love,
Whose heart belongs to thee.

The sun sets on the mountain.
The sun sets on the plain.
The sun sets on my true love,
Who’ll never come again.

The sun sets on the river.
The sun sets on the marsh.
The sun sets on my true love,
Whose parting words were harsh.

The sun sets on the ocean.
The sun sets on the town.
The sun sets on my true love
Now buried in the ground.

The sun sets on the forest.
The sun sets on my gun.
The sun sets on my true love,
Who took away my fun.
