Once I Knew A Pretty Girl

	作词 : Traditional
	Once I knew a pretty girl
	I loved her as my life
	I'd gladly give my heart and hand
	To make her my wife
	Ooh, to make her my wife
	She took me by the hand
	She led me to the door
	She put her arms around me
	Saying, "Please don't come no more"
	Ooh, Please, come no more
	Well, I'd not been gone
	But about six months
	When she did complain
	And she wrote me a letter
	Saying, "please 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
