hardy & massengill/the folk brothers - come all ye fair and tender ladies lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
come all ye fair and tender ladies
be careful how you court your men
they’re like a star in a bright may morning
first appear and then they’re gone

[verse 2]
they’ll tell to you some pleading story
they’ll vow to you some downright lie
straight away they’ll go and court another
let that other one pass you by

[verse 3]
if i’d have known before i courted
that love was such a k!lling crime
i would locked my heart in a box of golden
tied it up with a silver twine

[verse 4]
he took my heart just as it blossomеd
and crushed it through his lily+white hand
dear lord, look down on mе, a sinner
if i ever trust another man

[verse 5]
the soundest apple will soon be rotten
the warmest love will soon grow cold
young men’s advice is so uncertain
i pray young girls, don’t you be so bold
[instrumental break]

[verse 6]
if i had wings of some small sparrow
if i had wings to fly so high
i would fly away to my false true lover
while he talked i would sit and cry

[verse 7]
but as it is, i am no sparrow
nor have i no wings to fly
so i’ll sit down all broken hearted
try to pass all my troubles by
