All ye maidens heed my warning Never trust the hearts of men They will crush you like a sparrow Leaving you to never mend They will vow to always love you Swear no love but yours will do Then they'll leave you for another Break your little heart in two If I were a little sparrow, over these mountains I would fly I would find him, I would find him, look into his lying eyes I would flutter all around him, on my little sparrow wings I would ask him, I would ask him, why he left me loving him I am not a little sparrow, I am just the broken dream Of a cold false-hearted lover and his evil cunning scheme All ye maidens fair and tender Never trust the hearts of men They will crush you, like a sparrow Leaving you to never mend Little sparrow, little sparrow Oh my sorrow never ends
