(The Yellow Handkerchief)
(Kennedy, Folksongs of
Britain and Ireland
For once I loved a young girl as I loved my life
And I thought
in my heart I would make her my wife.
With her white cotton stockings, and her high ankle
shoes
And she wears a yellow handkerchief wherever she goes.
cho:
So take
this yellow handkerchief in remembrance of me
And tie it round your neck, my love, in flash
companie.
Flash companie, my boys, like a good many more
If it hadn't a been for flash
companie I should never a been
so poor.
For with fiddling and dancing 'twas all my
delight
In keeping such company it ruined me quite.
It has ruined me quite, my boys, like
a great many more
If it hadn't a been for flash companie I should never a been
so
poor.
cho:
For once I had a color as red as the rose
But now I'm as pale
as the lily that grows.
Like a flower in the garden all my color has gone
So you see what
I'm coming to from loving that one.
(Note: Supplementary verses reported by
Kennedy)
First I loved Thomas and then I loved John
And then I loved William, he's a
clever young man
With his white cotton stockings and his low ankle shoes
And he wears a
blue jacket wherever he goes.
The rocks shall run to water and the sea shall run
dry
If ever I prove false, my love, to the girl that loves I
In the middle of the ocean
there shall grow a myrtle tree
If ever I prove false, my love, to the girl that loves
me.
Come all you pretty flash girls take warning by me
And never build your nest in
the top of any tree
For the leaves they will wither and the roots they will decay
And the
beauty of a young girl will soon fade away.
