lyrics

Come all ye fair and tender ladies.
Take warning how you court your men.
They're like a star on a summer morning;
first they appear and then they're gone.

They'll tell to you some loving story;
declare to you that their love is true,
then they will go and court another,
and that's the love they have for you.

Don't you remember our days of courting
when your head lay upon my breast?
You could make me believe by the falling of your arm
that the sun rose in the west.

My true love is a handsome devil.
He wears a chain five miles long.
On every link a heart hangs broken;
another maid he’s loved and wronged.

I wish I was a little sparrow
and I had wings with which to fly.
I'd fly away from grief and sorrow
and try to pass my troubles by.

Come all ye fair and tender ladies.
Take warning how you court your men.
They're like a star on a cloudy morning;
first they appear and then they're gone.
