Fair & Tender Ladies Lyrics

Gene Clark Fair & Tender Ladies

My daddy was a handsome gambler he had a chain five miles
long
On every link a heart gets dangled of another maid he
loved and wronged
He told to you some loving story
He'd make you think he'd leave them true
But love grows cold as love grows older and fades away
like morning dew
I'd rather be in some dark hollow where the sun refused
to shine
Than to live here in Missouri with your memory always on
my mind
Come all ye fair and tender ladies take warning how your
court your man
They're like a star on a summer morning
First they appear then they're gone again

SOLO

Come all ye fair and tender ladies take warning how your
court your man
They're like a star on a summer morning
First they appear then they're gone again
