Karliene - Unconstant Lover
CAPO: 1st Fret
[Verse 1]
N.C.
Oh, it's meetings a pleasure and it's parting a grieve
And an unconstant lover is worse not a thief
For the thief he will rob you and just steal what you have
But an unconstant lover will follow you to your grave
[Chorus]
N.C.
Oh, they'll buy you fine trinkets, fine garments and flowers
And they'll call in at tea-time to pay their devours
They'll swear that they love you by the light of the moon
And propose marriage? No, sherry cobblers at Taylor's Saloon
[Verse 2]
But Gwhen you are married, look Dout for your Ghub
'Cause evenings you spend at the Dold fellows' club
At the Emofficer's store he was Ckept, he'll pretend
And Gso he was too, drinking Drum with a Gfriend
[Chorus]
Oh, they'll Gbuy you fine trinkets, fine Cgarments and flowers
And they'll Gcall in at tea-time to Dpay their devours
They'll Emswear that they love you by the Clight of the moon
And proGpose marriage? No, sherry cobblers at DTaylor's SaGloon
[Verse 3]
But Gfortunes are false and a Dfickle young Gday
And it's worse than bad luck for to Ddie an old maid
And the Embest of all blessings we can Cmeet in this life
Is a Gkind, loving husband and a Dgood-tempered Gwife
The Embest of all blessings we can Cmeet in this life
Is a Gkind, loving husband and a Dgood-tempered Gwife
