They first ap- pear and then they’re gone
MoreLyrics:
They’ll tell to you some loving story
Declare to you that their love is true
And then they’ll go and court some other
And that's the love they had for you
Do you remember our days of courting
when you head lay upon my breast
You could make me believe with the falling of your arm
That the sun rose in the West
I wish I was a little sparrow
And I had wings with which to fly
Right over to see my false true-lover
And when he's talking I'd be nigh.
But I'm not a little sparrow
I have no wings with which to fly
So I sit here in grief and sorrow
To weep and pass my troubles by.
If I had known before I courted
that love was such a killing thing
I'd a-locked my heart in a box of golden
and fastened it up with a silver pin.
