My Truly Fair
Guy Mitchell Lyrics

(Oh, ho)
A sound made to indicate excitement or enthusiasm

(Truly, truly fair, truly, truly fair)
Emphasizing that his love interest is truly, truly fair

(How I love my truly fair)
Expressing intense feelings of love towards his truly fair love interest

(There's songs to sing her, trinkets to bring her)
Acknowledging the many ways he can show his affection for her through music and gifts

(Flowers for her golden hair)
Specifically mentioning one of the gifts he could give to her to make her feel special

My truly, truly fair, truly, truly fair
Repeating and emphasizing that his love interest is truly, truly fair

How I love my truly fair (his truly fair)
Reiterating his deep feelings of love for his truly fair love interest

(Oh, ho)
Repeating the sound made to express excitement or enthusiasm

Some men plow the open plains
Acknowledge the various ways men can work and make a living

Some men sail the brine
Referencing another way men can work and make a living

But I'm in love with a pretty little maid
Stating that he is in love with a beautiful woman

For work I have no time
Implying that he is so deeply in love that work takes a backseat

(Oh, ho)
Repeating the sound made to express excitement or enthusiasm

Once I sailed from Boston Bay
Sharing a personal anecdote about a trip he took

Bound for Singapore
Mentioning his destination during the trip he took

But one day out and I missed her so
Realizing how much he missed his love interest so early into the trip

I swam right back to shore
Taking immediate action to go back to his love interest whom he missed so much

Back to my truly fair, truly, truly fair
Mentioning his truly fair love interest once again

How I love my truly fair
Reiterating his deep love for his truly fair love interest

There's songs to sing her, trinkets to bring her
Reiterating the many ways he can shower his love interest with affection

Flowers for her golden hair
Specifically mentioning a gift he could give her

(Oh, ho)
Repeating the sound made to express excitement or enthusiasm

I love she and she loves me
Stating the mutual feelings they have for each other

Pardon if I boast
Acknowledging that bragging about his relationship may be seen as off-putting

At times we fight all the live-long night
Admitting that they sometimes have arguments

'Bout who loves who the most
Stating that they argue over who loves the other more

Soon I'm gonna marry her
Sharing his plans to marry his love interest

Love her 'til I die
Expressing his intention to love her for the rest of his life

There ain't no livin' on love alone
Realizing that love alone may not be enough to sustain them

But still I'm gonna try
Expressing his determination to make their love work despite the challenges they may face

(Truly, truly fair, truly, truly fair)
Once again emphasizing that his love interest is truly, truly fair

(How I love my truly fair)
Reiterating his deep love for his truly fair love interest

There's songs to sing her, trinkets to bring her
Once again mentioning the many ways he can show his love interest affection

Flowers for her golden hair (for her golden hair)
Repeating the specific gift he mentioned earlier that he could give her
