Paroles de 1 & 20

When i was one and twenty
I heard a wise man say,
"give crowns pounds and guineas
But not your heart away;

Give pearls away and rubies
But keep your fancy free."
But i was one and twenty,
No use to talk to me.

When i was one and twenty
I heard him say again,
"the heart out of the bosom
Was never given in vain;

'tis paid with sighs a plenty
And sold for endless rue."
And now i'm two-and-twenty
And oh, 'tis true, 'tis true.
