Once I Knew A Pretty Girl
Joan Baez
Ton : ECapo 1
OnceEm I knew a pretty girl
I loAmved her as my life
I'd glaEmdly give my heGart and hand
To mB7ake her my wife
EmOoh to maB7ke her my wiEmfe
SheEm took me by the hand
SAmhe led me to the door
She puEmt her arms aroGund me
Saying PleB7ase don't come no more
EmOoh PleB7ase come no morEme
Well I'd not been gone
But about six months
When she did complain
And she wrote me a letter
Sayingplease come back again.
Ooh Please come again
So I sent her an answer
Just for to let her know
That no young man should venture
Where once he could not go
Ooh Where once he could not go.
So come all you young lovers
Take a warning from me
And never hang your affections
On a green growing tree
Ooh on a green growing tree
For the leaves they will wither
Roots will decay
And the beauty of a young girl
Will soon fade away
Ooh will soon fade away
