Come all ye fair and tender ladiesTake warning how you court young menThey're like a bright star on a cloudy morningThey will first appear and then they're goneThey'll tell to you some loving storyTo make you think that they love you trueStraightway they'll go and court some otherOh that's the love that they have for youDo you remember our days of courtingWhen your head lay upon my breastYou could make me believe with the falling of your armThat the sun rose in the WestI wish I were some little sparrowAnd I had wings and I could flyI would fly away to my false true loverAnd while he'll talk I would sit and cryBut I am not some little sparrowI have no wings nor can I flyLetras de cancionesSo I'll sit down here in grief and sorrowAnd try to pass my troubles byI wish I had known before I courtedThat love had been so hard to gainI'd of locked my heart in a box of goldenAnd fastened it down with a silver chainYoung men never cast your eye on beautyFor beauty is a thing that will decayFor the prettiest flowers that grow in the gardenHow soon they'll wither, will wither and fade away
