Ballad of a Fair Young Lady |
Oh a fair young lady I |
Used to see when walking buy |
Caught my love by happenstance |
Now I rarely catch a glance |
I wish that I had known her all the while |
Well I got my courage up |
On an empty coffee cup |
Went a callin' at her door |
She let me in at my implore |
Well I listened as she told me of the year |
When far away she lost her love so dear |
She said my sweetheart in Tennessee |
Built a banjo just for me |
Made of wood as red as clay |
But it hurts my heart to play |
And he’s gone to find his fortune in the hills |
And I said this continents too wide |
For you to spend your life inside |
Your much too beautiful you know |
To have no other place to go |
But she turned her back to me and walked away |
Well I never cared for banjo anyway |
