Two Sweethearts lyrics and chords

The piano sheet music is included. Sometimes called ''Two Loves''. I heard Sean Dunphy from Dublin sing this years ago This is the Irish version of an American song that was brought out by The Carter Family. Johnny Cash later went on to marry June Carter. The youtube video is by Irish singer Sean Dunphy who's rendition of The Lonely Woods Of Upton song became a very popular song in Ireland back in the 1960's. The guitar chords here are in G and in chordpro.

My sweetheart is only a poor country girl,
To her I intend to be wed,
But my father said no this cannot be so,
You must marry a lady instead.

Piano sheet music for Two Sweethearts Of Mine

This is the original sheet music score. When played it doesn't sound quiet the same as the version by Sean Dunphy.
​It seems like the tune of the song got changed somehow.
