WATERHOUSE ~ Come all ye fair ~ S.Weniger

Whenever i listen to Stephan playing this traditional the gorgeous artwork of John William Waterhouse crosses my mind. Masterly the British Painter (1849 -1917) revealed in his flowery paintings the graceful beauty of fair and tender ladies! With joy and blessings •*´¨`*• Crystal

"Come all ye fair and tender Ladies" was arranged for acoustic guitar and performed by Stephan Thomas Weniger. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTDZoF19PPY

Stephan was inspired by a performance of Rachel Eddy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ympSeN-rlnM at 3:40
and dedicated his arrangement to her.

LYRICS:

Come all ye fair and tender maidens,
Take warning how you court young men.
They're like a star of a summer's morning,
First they appear and then they're gone.

They'll tell to you some loving story.
They'll swear to you their love is true.
Straightway they'll go and court another.
And that's the love that they had for you.

If I'd a known before I courted,
That love it was such a killin' thing,
I'd lock my heart in a box of golden
And fastened it up with a silver chain.

O do you remember our days of courtin',
When your head lay upon my breast?
You could make me believe with the falling of your eyes,
That the sun rose in the west.

I wish I was a little sparrow
And I had wings and I could fly
I'd fly away to my own true lover
And when he speaks I won't deny.

But I am not no little sparrow.
I have no wings neither can I fly.
I'll sit right down in my grief and sorrow
And let my troubles pass me by.

Come all ye fair and tender maidens.
Take warning how you court young men.
They're like a star of a summer's morning.
First they appear and then they're gone.
