Unconstant Lover

Oh, it's meetings a pleasure and it's parting a grieve And an unconstant lover is worse not a thief For the thief he will rob you and just steal what you have But an unconstant lover will follow you to your grave N.C. Oh, they'll buy you fine trinkets, fine garments and flowers And they'll call in at tea-time to pay their devours They'll swear that they love you by the light of the moon And propose marriage? No, sherry cobblers at Taylor's Saloon G D G But when you are married, look out for your hub D 'Cause evenings you spend at the old fellows' club Em C At the officer's store he was kept, he'll pretend G D G And so he was too, drinking rum with a friend G C Oh, they'll buy you fine trinkets, fine garments and flowers G D And they'll call in at tea-time to pay their devours Em C They'll swear that they love you by the light of the moon G D G And propose marriage? No, sherry cobblers at Taylor's Saloon G D G But fortunes are false and a fickle young day D And it's worse than bad luck for to die an old maid Em C And the best of all blessings we can meet in this life G D G Is a kind, loving husband and a good-tempered wife Em C The best of all blessings we can meet in this life G D G Is a kind, loving husband and a good-tempered wife
