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 cloudy morning

First they'll appear and then they're gone

They'll tell to you some loving story

They'll swear to you their love is true

Straight way they'll go and court another

And that's the love that they had for you

Oh don't you remember our days of courting

You told me that you would love me the best

You could make me believe by the fall of your eyes

That the sun rose in the west

If I had known before I courted

That love was such a killing thing

I'd lock my heart in a box of golden

And fasten it with a silver pin

I wish I was a little sparrow

And I had wings and I could fly

I'd fly right home to my false true lover

And when he'd ask, I would deny

But I am not some little sparrow

I've no wings and I can't fly

So I'll stay right here with my grief and sorrow

And let my life pass me by

Come all ye fair and tender ladies

Take warning how you court your men

They're like a star on a cloudy morning

First they'll appear and then they're gone
