Lyrics
If I were a minstrel I'd sing you six lo-ove songs To tell the whole world of the lo-ove that we share If I were a merchant I'd bring you six diamonds With six blood red roses for my-y love to wear But I am a simple man, a poor common farmer So take my six ribbons to tie back your hair Yellow and brown, blue as the sky Red as my blood, green as your eyes If I were a nobleman I'd bring you six carriages With six snow white horses to take you anywhere If I were the emperor I'd build you six palaces With six hundred servants For comfort and care But I am a simple man, a poor common far-armer So take my six ribbons to tie back your hair If I were a minstrel I'd sing you six lo-ove songs To tell the whole world of the lo-ove that we share So be not afraid my love, you're never alo-one love While you wear my ribbons tyin' back your hair Once I was a simple man, a poor common farmer I gave you six ribbons to tie back your hair Too-ra-lee, too-ra-lie, all I can share Is only six ribbons, tyin' back your hair (Too-ra-lee, too-ra-lie, all I can share) I gave you six ribbons to tie-ie back your hair Submitted by Anonymous
