Six Ribbons
If I were a minstrel I'd sing you six love songs To tell the whole world of the love that we share If I were a merchant I'd bring you six diamonds With six blood red roses for my love to wear But I am a simple man, a poor common farmer So take my six ribbons to tie back your hair If I were a nobleman I'd bring you six carriages And six snow white horses to take you anywhere If I were the emperor I'd build you six palaces With six hundred servants for comforting fare But I am a simple man, a poor common farmer So take my six ribbons to tie back your hair If I were a minstrel I'd sing you six love songs To tell the whole world of the love that we share So be not afraid love, you're never alone love While you wear my ribbons to tie back your hair Once I was a simple man, a poor common farmer I gave you six ribbons to tie back your hair Too-ra-lee, too-ra-lie, all I can share Is only six ribbons to tie back your hair From Letras Mania
