Come all you fair and tender ladies

First they'll appear and then they're gone

They'll tell to you some loving story

Straightway they'll go and court another

You could make me believe by the fall of your eyes
F C/E Dm
That the sun rose in the west
[Verse 4]

If I had known before I courted
G Am
That love was such a killing thing
G C Em
I'd lock my heart in a box of golden
F C/E Dm
And fasten it with a silvery pin
