The Chieftains - Come All Ye Fair & Tender Ladies lyrics

Come all ye fair and tender ladies Take warning how you court young men They're like a star on 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 Then away they'll go and court some other And leave you there in grief to dwell I wish I was on some tall mountain Where the ivy rocks are black as ink I'd write a letter to my lost true lover Whose cheeks are like the morning pink For love is handsome, love is charming And love is pretty while it's new But love grows cold as love grows old And fades away like the morning dew And fades away like the morning dew
