Six Ribbons by Jon English
Six Ribbons lyrics
If I were a minstrel I�d sing you six love songs,
To tell the whole world of the love that we share,
If I were a merchant I�d bring you six diamonds,
With six blood red roses for my 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 comforting fare,
But I am a simple man, a poor common farmer,
So take my six ribbons to tie back your hair,
If I were a minstrel I�d sing you six love songs,
To tell the whole world of the love that we share,
So be not afraid my love, you�re never alone love,
While you wear my ribbons tying 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 to tie back your hair,
Too-ra-lee, too-ra-lie, all I can share,
I gave you six ribbons to tie back your hair.
