Fair And Tender Ladies

Come all ye fair and tender ladies

Take warning how you court your men

They're like a star on a summer morning

They first appear and then they're goneThey'll tell to you some loving story

And they make you think that they love you well

And away they'll go and court some other

And leave you there in grief to dwellI wish I was on some tall mountain

Where the Ivy rock is black as ink

I'd write a letter to my false true lover

Whose cheeks are like the morning pinkOh, love is handsome, love is charming

And love is pretty while it's new

But love grows cold as love grows older

And fades away like morning dew

And fades away like morning dew
