1
Once I knew a pretty girl
2
I loved her as my life
3
I'd gladly give my heart and hand
4
To make her my wife
5
Ooh, to make her my wife
6
She took me by the hand
7
She led me to the door
8
She put her arms around me
9
Saying, "Please don't come no more"
10
Ooh, Please, come no more
11
Well, I'd not been gone
12
But about six months
13
When she did complain
14
And she wrote me a letter
15
Saying, "please come back again."
16
Ooh, Please, come again
17
So I sent her an answer
18
Just for to let her know
19
That no young man should venture
20
Where once he could not go
21
Ooh, Where once he could not go.
22
So come all you young lovers
23
Take a warning from me
24
And never hang your affections
25
On a green, growing tree
26
Ooh, on a green, growing tree
27
For the leaves they will wither
28
Roots will decay
29
And the beauty of a young girl
30
Will soon fade away
31
Ooh, will soon fade away
