Here's my transcription from the YouTube video by Kate & Anna McGarrigle:


FOOLISH YOU
(Wade Hemsworth)

1. Foolish you, you want to go away,
Seeking fortune's favor on your own,
While the one who stays beside you,
Foolish me, is left alone.

CHORUS:
Sad and foolish, that's how I feel.
Don't you know how fortune favors you?
Fortune's blind, as blind as you, my dear.
What a pity, ah, foolish you!

2. Leaving me this way is hardly fair.
Must I go seek a fortune too,
Or must I wait till folly finds its own way
Home to me and foolish you?

3. Loving you was good. Love was kind.
I didn't mind the payments overdue,
For the price of loving is none too dear
As long as I'm with foolish you.

4. Sad and foolish, that's how I feel
When I see the foolish way you do.
Fortune fails when you are gone, my dear,
But I still want more of foolish you,
I still want more of foolish you,
I still want more of foolish you.
