COME ALL YOU YOUNG AND HANDSOME GIRLS |

1
Come all you young and handsome girls, Take warning of a friend, And learn the ways of the wide world, And on my words depend.
2
Oh, will you on my words depend, And will you bear in mind, Among a hundred men or more, A friend is hard to find.
3 When I was in my sixteenth year, Oh, Willy courted me, He said if I would go with him, His loving wife I'd be.
4* To him my heart had been confined, I could not well say no, I thought I knew he was my friend, And away with him did go.
5 When we were far away from home, That was my happiest life, Until he said: "You may go home, You cannot be my wife."
6
"My father he was kind to me, My mother loved me dear, You know that you persuaded me, How can you leave me here?"
7 "O nature, nature, darling girl, I find no fault in you, But I am bound to ramble round, I now bid you adieu!" |
