Clive posted the lyrics here but the line breaks didn't work. Here they are again.Helen
If I were a minstrel,
I'd sing you six love songs,
to tell the whole world of the love that we share.
If I were a merchant,
I'd bring you six diamonds,
with six blood red roses,
for my love to wear.
But I am a simple man,
a poor common farmer,
so take my six ribbons to tie back your hair.
Yellow and brown,
blue as the sky,
red as my blood,
green as your land.
If I were a nobleman
I'd bring you six carriages,
with six snow white horses,
to take you anywhere.
If I were the emperor,
I'dd build you six palaces, with six hundred servants
for comforting care.
But I am a simple man,etc.
If I were a minstrel etc.
So be not afraid,my love,
you're never alone,love,
while you wear my ribbons
tyin' back your hair.
