All men are false, says my mother,They’ll tell you wicked, lovin’ lies.The very next evening, they’ll court another,Leave you alone to pine and sigh. My daddy is a handsome devilHe’s got a chain five miles long,And on every link a heart does dangleOf another maid he’s loved and wronged. Go court another tender maiden,And hope that she will be your wife,For I’ve been warned, and I’ve decidedTo sleep alone all of my life.
