Come All Ye Fair and Tender Ladies

Come all ye fair and tender ladies
Be careful how you court your men
They're like a bright star on a cloudy morning
They'll first appear and then they're gone

They'll tell to you some lovely story
And tell you that their love is true
Straight 'way they'll go and court some other
And that's the love they have for you

I wish I were a little sparrow
And had I wings could fly so high
I'd fly away to my false true lover
And while he'd talk, I would deny

If I had known before I'd courted
That love had been so hard to win
I'd locked my heart with some keys of golden
And pinned it up with a silver pin
