[Verse 1]
Come all young girls of a tender mind
My story I'll tell to you
And listen well to my advice
And to my counsel true
[Verse 2]
As a rule, the mind of a girl is weak
And the mind of a man is strong
And if you listen to what they say
They're sure to lead you wrong
[Verse 3]
When I was in my sixteenth year
Sweet Willie courted me
He said if I'd run away with him
His loving bride I'd be
[Verse 4]
I loved my mother as my life
I loved my father well
But the love I have for sweet Willie dear
No human tongue can tell
[Verse 5]
When we were far away from home
Enjoying a happy life
He said, "Go home, go home, little girl
For you never can be my wife"
Come all young girls of a tender mind
My story I'll tell to you
And listen well to my advice
And to my counsel true
[Verse 2]
As a rule, the mind of a girl is weak
And the mind of a man is strong
And if you listen to what they say
They're sure to lead you wrong
[Verse 3]
When I was in my sixteenth year
Sweet Willie courted me
He said if I'd run away with him
His loving bride I'd be
[Verse 4]
I loved my mother as my life
I loved my father well
But the love I have for sweet Willie dear
No human tongue can tell
[Verse 5]
When we were far away from home
Enjoying a happy life
He said, "Go home, go home, little girl
For you never can be my wife"
