 OncEme I knew a pretty girl

 I lAmoved her as my life

 I'd glEmadly give my hGeart and hand

 To mB7ake her my wife

EmOoh, to mB7ake her my wEmife

 ShEme took me by the hand

AmShe led me to the door

 She pEmut her arms arGound me

 Saying, PlB7ease don't come no more

EmOoh, PlB7ease, come no mEmore

Well, I'd not been gone

But about six months

When she did complain

And she wrote me a letter

Saying,please come back again.

Ooh, Please, come again

So I sent her an answer

Just for to let her know

That no young man should venture

Where once he could not go

Ooh, Where once he could not go.

So come all you young lovers

Take a warning from me

And never hang your affections

On a green, growing tree

Ooh, on a green, growing tree

For the leaves they will wither

Roots will decay

And the beauty of a young girl

Will soon fade away

Ooh, will soon fade away
