Once I Knew A Pretty Girl Поёт Joan Baez is singing in 1961 volume2 Once I Knew A Pretty Girl Поёт Joan Baez is singing in 1961 volume2. Another folk ballad that I deeply love.Joan Baez is singing. ONCE I KNEW A PRETTY GIRLTrad.

Once I knew a pretty girl
I loved her as my life
I'd gladly give my heart and hand
To make her my wife,
Ooh, to make her my wife.

She took me by the hand,
She led me to the door
She put her arms around me
Saying, "Please don't come no more."
Ooh, please, come no more.

Well, I'd not been gone
But about six months
When she did complain.
And she wrote me a letter
Saying, "Please, come back again."
Ooh, please, come again.

And I wrote her an answer
Just for to let her know
That no young man should venture
Where once he could not go,
Ooh, where once he could not go.

So come all you young lovers
Take a warning from me -
And never place your affections
On a green, growing tree,
Ooh, on a green, growing tree.

For the leaves they will wither
Roots will decay
And the beauty of a young maid
Will soon fade away,
Ooh, will soon fade away.
