I made a mistake, yes, I did, yes, I did

Made a mistake, yes, I did, yes, I did

Now I'm so far from her, but it was me and my fate

Who lost because of my mistake

My trusting her has gone much too late



I've sent away the girl I love

I said, I've sent away the girl I love

She well gone, people crying

Said, my bold heart been dying

Who is it who made that mistake?

Who is it who made that mistake?



Oh, what a fool I've been tonight

The girl I love is out of sight

Now I'm so far from her, but it was me and my fate

Who lost because of my mistake

My trusting her has gone much too late



Oh, what a fool I've been tonight

The girl I love is out of sight

Now I'm so far from her, but it was me and my fate

Who lost because of my mistake, my, my mistake

Who lost because of my mistake
