Come all you fair and tender ladies
Take warning how you
court young men
They're like a bright star on a cloudy morning
They will first appear and
then they're gone
They'll tell to you some loving story
To make you think that they
love you true
Straightway they'll go and court some other
Oh that's the love that they
have for you
I wish I were some little sparrow
And I had wings and I could
fly
I would fly away to my false true lover
And while he'll talk I would sit and
cry
But I am not some little sparrow
I have no wings nor can I fly
So I'll sit
down here in grief and sorrow
And try to pass my troubles by
I wish I had known
before I courted
That love had been so hard to gain
I'd of locked my heart in a box of
golden
And fastened it down with a silver chain
Young men never cast your eye on
beauty
For beauty is a thing that will decay
For the prettiest flowers that grow in the
garden
How soon they'll wither, will wither and fade away
@courtship
@love
