If I were a minstrel, I'd sing you six love songs |
|
to tell the whole world of the love that we shared |
|
If I were a merchant, I'd bring you six diamonds |
|
With six blood red roses, for my love to share |
|
But I am a simple man, a poor common farmer |
|
So take my six ribbons, to tie back your hair |
|
Yellow and brown, blue as the sky, red as my blood, green as your eye. |
|
If I were a nobleman |
|
I'd bring you six carriages, with six snow white horses to take you anywhere |
|
If I were the emperor |
|
I'd build you six palaces with six hundred servants for comforting care |
|
But I am a simple man a poor common farmer |
|
So take my six ribbons to tie back your hair |
|
If I where a minstrel |
|
I'd sing you six love songs to tell the whole world of the love that we share |
|
so don't afraid, my love, |
|
You're never alone, love while you wear my ribbons tie'n back your hair |
|
Once I was a simple man a poor common farmer I gave you six ribbons to tie back your hair |
|
Tooralee, tooralie |
|
All I can share is only six ribbons to tie back your hair |
|
Tooralee, tooralie |
|
All I can share is only six ribbons to tie back your hair |
