Played by Jerry Garcia with the Wildwood Boys in February 1963.
Thanks to Matt Schofield for the lyrics.
Come all you fair and tender maidens
Take warning how you court your man
They're like a fog on a Summer's morning
First appear and then they're gone
I wished I was a little sparrow
And I had wings to fly so high
I'd fly to the arms of my false true lover
And when he'd ask, I would deny
Come all you fair and tender maidens
Take warning how you court your man
They're like a fog on a Summer's morning
First appear and then they're gone
They tell to you such lovely stories
They'll make you think that they love you well
And then they are gone to court another
And leave you there in grief to dwell
Come all you fair and tender maidens
Take warning how you court your man
They're like a fog on a Summer's morning
First appear and then they're gone
First appear and then they're gone
