APRIL MORNING

'Twas on one April morning just as the sun was rising
'Twas on one April morning, I heard the small birds sing
They were singing Lovely Nancy, for love it is a fancy,
Sweet were the notes that I heard the small birds sing.

For young men are false and are full of all deceiving
Young men are false and they never will prove true
For they're roaming and they're ranging, and their minds are ever changing,
They are seeking for to find out some other girl that's new.

Oh, if I had but my own heart in keeping,
Oh, if I had but my own heart back again
Safe in my bosom I would lock it up forever
And it should wander never so far from me again.

Why must you spend all your long time in courting?
Why must you spend all your long time in vain?
For I don't intend to marry; I would rather longer tarry
Young men, don't you spend all your single life in vain.

(repeat first verse)
