Verse 2

They'll tell to you some loving story

To make you think that they

love you true

Straightway they'll go

and court some other

Oh that's the love that

they have for you

Verse 3
D 
Do you remember  (D major) our days of courting
Em 
When your head  (E minor) lay upon
my breast
D 
You could make me  (D major) believe with
the falling of your arm
That the sun rose in the West

Verse 4

I wish I were some little sparrow

And I had wings and I could fly

I would fly away to my false true lover

And while he'll talk I would sit and cry

Verse 5

But I am not some little sparrow

I have no wings nor can I fly

So I'll sit down here in grief and sorrow

And try to pass my troubles by

Verse 6
D 
A 
I wish  (D major) I had known before I cour (A major) ted
That love had been so hard to gain
Em 
I'd of locked my heart in a  (E minor) box of golden
D 
And fastene (D major) d it down with
Em 
A 
a  (E minor) silver chain  (A major) 

Verse 7
D 
Young men never cast your eye on  (D major) 
beauty
Em 
For beauty is a thing that will  (E minor) decay
A 
For the prettiest  (A major) flowers that
D 
grow in the  (D major) garden
How soon they'll wither, will
wither and fade away
Em 
 (E minor)
