Tiny Sparrow (45 Version)
Come all ye fair and tender ladies
Take warning how you court your man
There like the star on a summer morning
First they'll appear and then they're gone
If I had known before I courted
What all his lying could have done
I'd have locked my heart in a box of golden
And never would have courted one
I wish I were a tiny sparrow
And I had wings and I could fly
I'd fly away to my own 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 man
There like the stars on a summer morning
First they'll appear and then they're gone.
Take warning how you court your man
There like the star on a summer morning
First they'll appear and then they're gone
If I had known before I courted
What all his lying could have done
I'd have locked my heart in a box of golden
And never would have courted one
I wish I were a tiny sparrow
And I had wings and I could fly
I'd fly away to my own 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 man
There like the stars on a summer morning
First they'll appear and then they're gone.
