Ian & Sylvia — Come All Ye Fair and Tender Ladies

[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
