"COME ALL YOU YOUNG ANL EAFDSOIE IADIES" Q
 
E
(I} Come all you young and handsome ladies §
Be careful how you court young men I
They’re like a star on the bright Hay morning V’
They first appear and then they‘re gone Q
{2] They tell to you some pleading story l
They vow to you their love is true d
Straight way they go and court some other j
And that is the love they have for you I
(5) If I had a-knowed before I oourted n
Love would have gone so hard with me t
I*d a ut m. heart in a rolden loeket ,
s .
And locked it up with a silver key *
(4) The soundest apple soon will rotten
The warmest love will soon grow cold P
Young mon's advise is so uncertain ;
I pray, young girls, den’t be too bold _
(5) Ho took my heart as if it blossomed .
and crushed it through his little white hand ·
Dear Lord look down on me a sinner
If ever I trust another man L
(6} If I had wings of some small sparrow
If I had wings to fly so high _.
Ild fly away to my false true lover Y
And while he talked Ild sit and ery l`
(7) But as it is I am no sparrow ·f
Nor have I no wings to Ely
So I’ll sit down all broken hearted ,
And try to pass my troubles by }
