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
