about

One of Jack’s old favorites, put together from the several
variations he’s long since forgotten where or from whom he learned them.

lyrics

Come all you fair and tender ladies
Take a warning how you court your men
They’re like a star on a summers morning
First they appear and then they’re gone

They’ll tell to you some loving stories
Make you think they love you well
And then they’ll go and court another
Leave you alone in grief to dwell

Do you remember our days of courting
When you lay down upon my breast
You could make me believe by point of your arm
That the sun rose in the west.

I wished I was a tiny sparrow
And I had wings and I could fly
I’d fly away to my own true lover
And in her soft arms I would lie

But I am not a tiny sparrow
I have no wings, nor can I fly
So I’ll sit here and weep in sorrow
And try to pass my troubles by

Oh love is handsome, love is gentle
Gay as a jewel when first it’s new
But love grows cold as it grows older
And fades away like morning due

So come all you fair and tender ladies
Take a warning how you court your men
They’re like a star on a summers morning
First they appear and then they’re gone
