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
