Beware, Oh Take Care
A another song I learned from the New Lost City Ramblers who learned this from Blind Alfred Reed.
They say young men are bold and free
Beware, Oh take care.
They'll tell you they're friends, but they're liars, you see
Beware, Oh take care.
Beware, young ladies, they're fooling you,
Trust them not, they're fooling you!
Beware, young ladies, they're fooling you,
Beware, Oh take care.
Around their necks they wear a guard
Beware, Oh take care.
And in their pocket a deck of cards.
Beware, Oh take care.
Beware, young ladies, they're fooling you,
Trust them not, they're fooling you!
Beware, young ladies, they're fooling you,
Beware, Oh take care.
They smoke, they chew, they wear fine shoes
Beware, Oh take care.
And in their pocket is a bottle of booze.
Beware, Oh take care.
Beware, young ladies, they're fooling you,
Trust them not, they're fooling you!
Beware, young ladies, they're fooling you,
Beware, Oh take care.
They hold their hands up to their hearts
They sigh, Oh they sigh,
They say they love no one but you
They lie, Oh they lie.
Beware, young ladies, they're fooling you,
Trust them not, they're fooling you!
Beware, young ladies, they're fooling you,
Beware, Oh take care.
