1
Come all ye fair and tender maidens
2
Take warning how you court young men
3
They're like a star of a summer's morning
4
First they appear and then they're gone.
5
They'll tell to you some loving story
6
They'll swear to you their love is true
7
Straightway they'll go and court another
8
And that's the love that they had for you.
9
If I'd a known before I courted
10
That love it was such a killin' thing
11
I'd lock my heart in a box of golden
12
And fastened it up with a silver chain.
13
O do you remember our days of courtin'
14
When your head lay upon my breast
15
You could make me believe with the falling of your eyes
16
That the sun rose in the west.
17
I wish I was a little sparrow
18
And I had wings and I could fly
19
I'd fly away to my own true lover
20
And when he speaks I won't deny.
21
But I am not no little sparrow
22
I have no wings neither can I fly
23
I'll sit right down in my grief and sorrow
24
And let my troubles pass me by.
25
Come all ye fair and tender maidens
26
Take warning how you court young men
27
They're like a star of a summer's morning
28
First they appear and then they're gone.
