Ballad Of A Fair Young Lady Lyrics


Goodnight, Texas Ballad Of A Fair Young Lady

[Verse 1]
Oh a fair young lady I
Used to see when walking buy
Caught my love by happenstance
Now I rarely catch a glance
I wish that I had known her all the while

[Verse 2]
Well I got my courage up
On an empty coffee cup
Went a callin' at her door
She let me in at my implore

Well I listened as she told me of the year
When far away she lost her love so dear

[Verse 3]
She said my sweetheart in Tennessee
Built a banjo just for me
Made of wood as red as clay
But it hurts my heart to play
And he's gone to find his fortune in the hills

[Verse 4]
And I said this continents too wide
For you to spend your life inside
Your much too beautiful you know
To have no other place to go

But she turned her back to me and walked away
Well I never cared for banjo anyway
