let no man steal your thyme - traditional

this is the anne briggs version

Come all you fair and tender girls
That flourish in your prime, prime,
Beware, beware, if you're good and fair
Let no man steal your thyme, thyme,
Let no man steal your thyme.

For when your thyme it is past and gone
He'll care no more for you, you.
And every place where your thyme was waste
Shall spread all o'er with rue, rue,
Shall spread all o'er with rue.

For woman is a branchy tree
And man a singing vine, vine.
And from her branches carelessly
He takes what he can find, find,
He takes what he can find.

I'd have to quibble with you over some of the words, but I certainly enjoyed listening to your lovely voice.

Truly a remarkable talent. The shear haunting beauty of this sweet sounding accapella is literally making my skin tingle. A+

....there are no words I find

that by meaning would rhyme

with this divine feeling of mine

that you give when given time..

Thank you!
