[00:00.000]Come all ye fair and tender ladies,
[00:25.572]Take warning how you court your men.
[00:34.423]They're like the stars on a summer's mornin'
[00:43.692]First they'll appear and then they're gone.
[00:52.568]If I had known before I courted
[01:01.931]What all his lyin' would have done
[01:11.156]I'd have locked my heart in a box of golden
[01:20.302]And never would have courted none.
[01:29.287]I wish I were a tiny sparrow
[01:38.353]And I had wings and I could fly.
[01:48.151]I'd fly away to my own true lover
[01:57.634]And all he'd ask I would deny.
[02:07.115]Alas I'm not a tiny sparrow
[02:16.088]I have not wings nor can I fly
[02:25.431]And on this earth in grief and sorrow
[02:34.743]I am bound until I die.
[02:44.250]Come all ye fair and tender ladies
[02:53.453]Take warning how you court your men.
[03:03.071]They're like the stars on a summer's mornin'
[03:12.268]First they'll appear and then they're gone.

Come all ye fair and tender ladies,
Take warning how you court your men.
They're like the stars on a summer's mornin'
First they'll appear and then they're gone.
If I had known before I courted
What all his lyin' would have done
I'd have locked my heart in a box of golden
And never would have courted none.
I wish I were a tiny sparrow
And I had wings and I could fly.
I'd fly away to my own true lover
And all he'd ask I would deny.
Alas I'm not a tiny sparrow
I have not wings nor can I fly
And on this earth in grief and sorrow
I am bound until I die.
Come all ye fair and tender ladies
Take warning how you court your men.
They're like the stars on a summer's mornin'
First they'll appear and then they're gone.
