Come All Ye Fair and Tender Ladies

Traditional

[Verse 1]
Come, all ye fair and tender ladies
Take warnin' how you court your men
They're like the stars on a summer mornin'
First they'll appear, and then they're gone

[Verse 2]
They'll tell to you some lovin' story
They'll make you think that they love you well
Straightway they'll go and court some other
Leave you there in grief to dwell

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Love is handsome, love is charmin'
Love is pretty while it's new
But love grows cold as love grows older
Fades away like mornin' dew

[Verse 4]
If I'd had know before I courted
I never would have courted none
I'd lock my heart in a box of golden
Pinned it up with silver pins

[Verse 5]
Come, all ye fair and tender ladies
Take warnin' how you court your men
They're like the stars on a summer mornin'
First they'll appear, and then they're gone

[Outro]
First they'll appear
And then they're gone
