[Verse 1]
F C
F Am
Take warning how you court young men
C
They're like a star on a summer's morning
Am G
They'll take your love and then they're gone
[Verse 2]
F C
I wish I'd known before I courted
F Am
Then I would never have courted none
C
I'd left my heart in a box of golden
Am G
And buttoned it up with a silver pin
[Verse 3]
F C
I wish I was a little sparrow
F Am
And I had wings and I could fly
C
I'd fly away to my false true-lover
Am G
And what he'd speak I would deny
[Verse 4]
F C
Do you remember how we courted
F Am
And how your head lay on my breast
C
You could make me believe by the falling of your arm
Am G
That the sun rose in the West
[Verse 5]
F C
But I am not a little sparrow
F Am
I have no wings neither can I fly
C
So I'll sit down to grieve my sorrows
Am G
And try to pass my troubles by
[Verse 6]
F C
Come all ye fair and tender ladies
F Am
Take warning how you court young men
C
They're like a star on a summer's morning
Am G
They'll first appear and then they're gone
