| [00:00.00] | Once I knew a pretty girl |
| [00:03.00] | I loved her as my life |
| [00:09.00] | I'd gladly give my heart and hand |
| [00:13.00] | To make her my wife |
| [00:18.00] | Ooh, to make her my wife |
| [00:30.00] | She took me by the hand |
| [00:35.00] | She led me to the door |
| [00:38.00] | She put her arms around me |
| [00:41.00] | Saying, "Please don't come no more" |
| [00:47.00] | Ooh, please, come no more |
| [00:58.00] | Well, I'd not been gone but about six months |
| [01:02.00] | When she did complain |
| [01:05.00] | And she wrote me a letter |
| [01:08.00] | Saying, "Please come back again." |
| [01:13.00] | Ooh, please, come again |
| [01:24.00] | And I wrote her an answer |
| [01:28.00] | Just for to let her know |
| [01:31.00] | That no young man should venture |
| [01:36.00] | Where once he could not go |
| [01:40.00]] | Ooh, where once he could not go |
| [01:55.00] | So come all you young lovers |
| [01:59.00] | Take a warning from me |
| [02:02.00] | And never place your affections |
| [02:06.00] | On a green growing tree |
| [02:10.00] | Ooh, on a green growing tree |
| [02:20.00] | Cause the leaves they will wither |
| [02:25.00] | Roots will decay |
| [02:28.00] | And the beauty of a young maid will soon fade away |
| [02:36.00] | Ooh, soon fade away |
