Fair and Tender Ladies
My daddy was a handsome gambler
He had a chain, five miles long
On every link, a heart detangled
Of another maid he'd loved and wronged
He'd tell to you some loving story
He'd make you think he believed them true
But love grows cold, as love grows older
And fades away like morning dew
I'd rather be in some dark hollow
Where the sun refuse to shine
Than to live here in Missouri
With your memory always haunting my mind
Come all ye fair and tender ladies
Take warning how you caught your men
They're like a star on a summers morning
First they appear, then they're gone again
*whistling*
Come all ye fair and tender ladies
Take warning how you caught your men
They're like a star on a summers morning
First they appear, then they're gone again
*harmonica solo*
He had a chain, five miles long
On every link, a heart detangled
Of another maid he'd loved and wronged
He'd tell to you some loving story
He'd make you think he believed them true
But love grows cold, as love grows older
And fades away like morning dew
I'd rather be in some dark hollow
Where the sun refuse to shine
Than to live here in Missouri
With your memory always haunting my mind
Come all ye fair and tender ladies
Take warning how you caught your men
They're like a star on a summers morning
First they appear, then they're gone again
*whistling*
Come all ye fair and tender ladies
Take warning how you caught your men
They're like a star on a summers morning
First they appear, then they're gone again
*harmonica solo*
