1. Come all you fair and tender ladies

Take a warning how you court young men
Theyre like the stars of a summer morning
Theyll appear, then theyre gone

3.

I wish I was a little sparrow

And I had wings, and I coudl fly
Id fly away to my false true lover
When she speak, I would deny

2. Oh, dont you remember our days of courting?

When your hair lay upon my breast
You could make me believe by the falling of your arms
That the sun rose in the west

4.

Come all you fair and tender ladies

Take a warning how you court young men
Theyre like the stars in a summer morning
Theyll appear, then theyre gone
