If I where a minstrel

I'd sing you six love songs to tell the whole world of the love that we share



If I where 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 eye.



If I were a nobleman

I'd bring you six palaces with six hundred servants for comforting care

But I am a simple man a poor common farmer

So take my six ribbons to tie back your hair



If I where 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 tie'n back your hair



Once I was a simple man a poor common farmer I gave you six ribbons to tie back your hair



Tooralee, tooralie

All I can share is only six ribbons to tie back your hair



Tooralee, tooralie

All I can share is only six ribbons to tie back your hair
