Joan Baez - Once I Knew a Pretty Girl слова песни
Once I knew a pretty girlI loved her as my lifeI`d gladly give my heart and handTo make her my wifeOoh, to make her my wifeShe took me by the handShe led me to the doorShe put her arms around meSaying, "Please don`t come no more"Ooh, Please, come no moreWell, I`d not been gone But about six monthsWhen she did complainAnd she wrote me a letterSaying, "please come back again."Ooh, Please, come againSo I sent her an answerJust for to let her knowThat no young man should ventureWhere once he could not goOoh, Where once he could not go.So come all you young loversTake a warning from meAnd never hang your affectionsOn a green, growing treeOoh, on a green, growing treeFor the leaves they will witherRoots will decayAnd the beauty of a young girlWill soon fade awayOoh, will soon fade away
