“If You Can Love Me”

Description

"If you can love me, why not love me, While you have so many in Tennessee! By this you may be led, To think of me when I am dead."

Notes

Although the first line of this sounds "Green Grow the Lilacs"-ish, the form implies that it's something different. Don't ask me what. - RBW
