Come all ye fair and tender ladies take warning how you court young men

They're like a star on a summer morning they first appear and then they're gone

They'll tell to you some loving story and make you think they love you so well

Away they'll go and court some other and leave you there in grief to dwell

[ ac.guitar ]

Oh love is handsome love is charming and love is pretty while it's new

But love grows cold as love goes old and fades away like morning dew

And fades away like morning dew
