Lyrics
Alberta let your hair hang low
Alberta, please allow your hair to hang low
Alberta let your hair hang low
Reiteration of the request for Alberta to let her hair hang low
I'll give you more gold
The speaker promises to give Alberta more gold
Than your apron can hold
Expressing the abundance of the speaker's offer
If you'd only let your hair hang low
Repetition of the plea for Alberta to let her hair hang low, emphasizing desire
Alberta what's on your mind
Asking Alberta about her thoughts or concerns
Alberta what's on your mind
Repeating the inquiry into Alberta's state of mind
You keep me worried and bothered
Expressing the speaker's constant worry and distress caused by Alberta
All of the time
Describing the speaker's perpetual preoccupation with Alberta
Alberta what's on your mind
Reiteration of the question about Alberta's thoughts or concerns
Alberta don't you treat me unkind
Pleading with Alberta not to treat the speaker unkindly
Alberta don't you treat me unkind
Repeating the plea for kindness from Alberta
Oh my heart is so sad
Expressing sadness in the speaker's heart due to unfulfilled desires
Cause I want you so bad
Conveying the intense longing the speaker feels for Alberta
Alberta don't you treat me unkind
Reiteration of the plea for Alberta's kindness
Alberta let your hair hang low
Repetition of the initial request for Alberta to let her hair hang low
Alberta let your hair hang low
Restating the desire for Alberta's hair to hang low, linking it to a promise of more wealth
I'll give you more gold
Reiterating the speaker's commitment to providing wealth to Alberta
Than your apron can hold
Emphasizing the abundance of the speaker's offer in relation to Alberta's apron
If you'll only let your hair hang low
Final plea for Alberta to let her hair hang low to receive the promised riches
