Fair And Tender Ladies (исполнитель: Dave Van Ronk)
[bad word] all you fair and tender ladies Take warning how you court your men They're like some stars on a summer's morning They'll first appear and then they're gone If I had known before I courted I never would have courted none I'd locked my heart in a chest of silver And fastened it with a golden chain Do you remember our days of courting When you had layed upon my breast You could make me believe by the falling of your arm That the sun rose from the west I wish I was a little swallow And I had wings and I could fly so high I'd fly to the arms of my false [bad word] lover And there I'd be content to die But I am not a little swallow I have no wings and I can't fly I'll have to sit and sing in sorrow And try to pass my troubles by [bad word] all you fair and tender ladies Take warning how you court your men They're like a star on a summer morning They first appear and then they're gone
