Fair and Tender Ladies - June Carter

Come all ye fair and tender ladies

Take warning how you court young men

They’re like a star on a summer morning

They first appear and then they’re gone

They’ll tell to you some loving story

And make you think that they love you so well

Then away they’ll go and court some other

And leave you there in grief to dwell

I wish I was on some tall mountain

Where the ivy rock is black as ink

I’d write a letter to my own true lover

Whose cheeks are like the morning pink

Oh love is fair love is charming

And love is pretty while it’s new

But love grows cold as love grows older

And fades away like morning dew

And fades away like morning dew
