Kingston Trio Come All Ye Fair And Tender Ladies Lyrics

Come All Ye Fair And Tender Ladies Lyrics

Come all ye fair and tender ladies

Be careful how you court your men

They're like the stars on a summer morning

They'll first appear and then they're gone



How I remember our days of courtin'

I met my love in the fading light

But now she flies to meet another

The day is lonely as the night



If I had known before I courted

That true love was so hard to win

I'd have locked my heart in a box of golden

And never opened it again



I'll find a place come tomorrow

I'll climb some mountain way up high

There I'll sit down to weep in sorrow

And try to mend my troubled mind



Come all ye fair and tender ladies

Be careful how you court your men

They're like the stars on a summer morning

They'll first appear and then they're gone
