	Story Behind the Song Another love song but this one has a radically different feel from "I am awake". In this song the woman says "Go on, leave me, I don't mind". So the song has a jaunty swing to it, and it's followed up with a tune Vincy wrote for his mother, Margaret, who danced many's the barn dance around South Galway. Lyrics Once I loved with fond affection One whose thoughts were dear to me Until there came a dreary parting Never more he'll speak to me Chorus: Go and leave me if you wish to Never let me cross your mind If you think I've proved unworthy Go and leave me, I don't mind Many's the night as you lay sleeping Dreaming of some sweet repose And I a young girl left brokenhearted Listening to the wind that blows Here's the ring that first you gave me When our heart's were first entwined Give it to the dark haired lady She'll never know it once was mine
