The Chieftains - Come All Ye Fair And Tender Ladies lyrics

[Featuring: Pistol Annies] Come all ye 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 They'll tell to you some loving story They'll make you think they love you well And away they'll go and court some other And leave you there in grief to dwell I wish I was on some tall mountain Where the ivy rocks are black as ink I'd write a letter to my false true lover Whose cheeks are like the morning pink Oh love is handsome, love is charming Love is pretty while it's new But love grows cold as love grows old And fades away like morning dew Come all ye 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 They first appear and then they're gone
