“I'm Tired of Living Alone”

Description

"I'm tired of living alone. I went to the river, and I saw a pretty rose, I plucked it and called it my own. A rose will fade, and so will a maid; I'm tired of living alone."

Notes

No doubt a part of something longer and perhaps widely familiar. But I can't identify it from the stanza in Brown. - RBW
