Come all ye fair and tender ladies
G7
Take warning how you court your men
Fm Cm
They're like the star on a summer morning
G7 Cm
They first appear and then they're gone
Cm
They'll tell to you some loving story
G7
And make you think they love you well
Fm Cm
Away they'll go and court some other
G7 Cm
And leave you there in grief to dwell
Cm
I wish I was on some tall mountain
G7
Where the ivy rocks are black as ink
Fm Cm
I'd write a letter to my false lover
G7 Cm
Whose cheeks are like the morning pink
Cm
I wish I was a little sparrow
G7
And I had wings to fly so high
Fm Cm
I'd fly to the arms of my false lover
G7 Cm
And when he'd ask I would deny
Cm
Oh love is handsome love is charming
G7
And love is pretty while its new
Fm Cm
But love grows cold as love grows older
G7 Cm
And fades away like morning dew
