Come all ye fair and tender ladies CFCG7 CG7CG7CFC
Take warning how you court young men CFCG7 CG7CG7CF
They're like a star on a summer's morning FCG7C CG7CG7C
First they'll appear and then they're gone. C F G7FC G7

They'll tell to you some loving story
And they'll declare their love is true
Straightway they'll go and love another
And that's the love that they have for you.

O, 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.

If I had known before I courted,
That love had been so hard to win,
I'd have locked my heart in a box of golden,
And fastened if up with a silver pin.

I wish I were some little sparrow
And I had wings and I could fly
I would fly away to my false true love
r And when he'd speak, I would deny.

But I am not some little sparrow
I have no wings nor can I fly
So I'll sit right down in grief and sorrow
Until my troubles pass me by.
