COME ALL YOU FAIR AND TENDER LADIES
Come all you fair and tender ladies
C Come all ye fair and tender ladies
Take warning how you court your G7 men
They’re like a Dm star on a summer C morning
They first Dm appear and then they’re C gone
1. Come all ye fair and tender ladies
Take warning how you court your men
They’re like a star on a summer morning
They first appear and then they’re gone
2. If I’d a-known before I met him,
of all the lies that he would say,
I’d locked my heart in a box of golden,
the only key I’d thrown away.
3. I wish I was a little sparrow,
and I had wings and I could fly.
I’d fly away to my false true lover
and when he’d speak I would deny.
4. 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.
