Come All Ye Fair & Tender Maidens
Lyricist:Joan Baez
Come all ye fair and tender maidens Take warning how you court young men They're like a star of a summer's morning First they appear and then they're gone
They'll tell to you some loving story They'll swear to you their love is true Straightway they'll go and court another And that's the love that they had for you
If I'd a known before I courted That love, it was such a killin' thing I'd locked my heart in a box of golden And fastened it up with a silver chain
Oh, do you remember our days of courtin' When your head lay upon my breast Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com You could make me believe with the falling of your eyes That the sun rose in the west
I wish I was a little sparrow And I had wings and I could fly I'd fly away to my own true lover And when he'd speak I won't deny
But I am not no little sparrow I have no wings, neither can I fly I'll sit right down in my grief and sorrow And let my troubles pass me by
Come all ye fair and tender maidens Take warning how you court young men They're like a star of a summer's morning First they appear and then they're gone
