about

American folk song.

lyrics

Come all ye fair and tender ladies,
Be careful how you love your man.
He's like a star on a summer mornin'
First appears and then is gone.

I wish I had known before I courted
That love would be such a killing thing
I'd have locked my heart in a box of golden
And lock it up with a silver pin.

I wish I were a tiny sparrow
and I had wings and I could fly.
I'd fly away to a lonesome valley
Till he loves like I

But as I'm not a tiny sparrow
I have no wings and I can't fly
So I'll sit right down in my lonesome valley
Weep and pass my troubles by.
