Sorry the day I was married
And sorry the day I was wed
And it’s oh if I only had tarried
When I to be altar was led
Young William sure there’s no pleasing
For let women do what they can
It’s always your heart they’ll be teasing
For that is the way of a man
When I was a young lass I was bonnie
Had silks and bright jewels to wear
And red were my cheeks as a berry
And my heart it was free from all care
Silks now I have none for my wearing
My jewels have all gone away
And surely this life there’s no bearing
I’m as pale as a primrose today
Think, pretty maids, ere you marry
Stand fast by your sweet liberty
And as long as you can you must tarry
And not be lamenting like me
Sorry the day I was married
And sorry the day I was wed
And it’s oh if I only had tarried
When I to the altar was ledYou might also like
