[Verse 1]
Come all you fair and tender ladies
Take a warning how you court your man
They’re like a bright star on a cloudy morning
First appear and then they're gone
[Verse 2]
They'll tell to you some loving story
Declare to you their love is true
Straightaway they'll go and they'll court another
And that is the love they have for you
[Verse 3]
I wished I was some little sparrow
That I had wings and I could fly
I would fly away to my false true lover
And whilst he talked I'd sit and cry
[Verse 4]
But I am not no little sparrow
I got no wings and I can't fly
So I'll sit right here in my grief and sorrow
And pass my troubles by and by
Come all you fair and tender ladies
Take a warning how you court your man
They’re like a bright star on a cloudy morning
First appear and then they're gone
[Verse 2]
They'll tell to you some loving story
Declare to you their love is true
Straightaway they'll go and they'll court another
And that is the love they have for you
[Verse 3]
I wished I was some little sparrow
That I had wings and I could fly
I would fly away to my false true lover
And whilst he talked I'd sit and cry
[Verse 4]
But I am not no little sparrow
I got no wings and I can't fly
So I'll sit right here in my grief and sorrow
And pass my troubles by and by
