Sweet Willie
Come all young girls of a tender mind My story I'll tell to you And listen well to my advice And to my counsel true
As a rule, the mind of a girl is weak And the mind of a man is strong And if you listen to what they say They're sure to lead you wrong
When I was in my sixteenth year Sweet Willie courted me He said, if I'd run away with him His loving bride I'd be
When we were far away from home Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Enjoying a happy life He said, go home, go home, little girl For you never can be my wife
Oh, Willie dear, what have I done? What makes you treat me so? How can you take me from my home And leave me here to mourn?
It's nature, nature, my little girl I find no fault in you My mind is set on rambling around And now I bid you adieu
