Bread And Bones - Fair And Tender Ladies lyrics

Come all you fair and tender ladies Be careful how you court your men They're like the stars that rise in morning They first appear and then they're gone If I had known before I courted I swear I would have courted none I'd lock my heart in a box so golden And seal it up with a silver pin I wish I were some tiny sparrow That I had wings and I could fly I'd fly straight away to my false lover And sing and call with every lie But I am not some tiny sparrow I have no wings, I can not fly I bide my time and weep my sorrow And try to pa** my troubles by Do you recall our days of courting You lay your head upon my breast I'd have believed with all your lying That the sun rose in the west So all you fair and tender ladies Be careful how you court young men They're like the stars that rise in morning They first appear and then they're gone They just appear and then they're gone They just appear and then they're gone
