Lyrics
Come all you fair and tender ladies,
Be careful how you court young men,
They’re like a star of a summer’s morning,
They’ll first appear and then they’re gone.

They’ll tell to you some loving story,
They’ll declare to you their love is true;
Straightway they’ll go and court some other,
And that’s the love they have for you.

I wish I was some little sparrow,
That I had wings, could fly so high;
I’d fly away to my false true lover,
And when he’s talkin’ I’d be by.

But I am not a little sparrow,
And neither have I wings to fly;
I’ll sit down here in grief and sorrow
To weep and pass my troubles by.

If I’d a-known before I courted,
I never would have courted none;
I’d have locked my heart in a box of golden,
And pinned it up with a silver pin.
