Come All Ye Fair And Tender Ladies Lyrics - Kingston Trio

Come all ye fair and tender ladies 

Be careful how you court your men 

They're like the stars on a summer morning 

They'll first appear and then they're gone 

How I remember our days of courtin' 

I met my love in the fading light 

But now she flies to meet another 

The day is lonely as the night 

If I had known before I courted 

That true love was so hard to win 

I'd have locked my heart in a box of golden 

And never opened it again 

I'll find a place come tomorrow 

I'll climb some mountain way up high 

There I'll sit down to weep in sorrow 

And try to mend my troubled mind
