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.

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,
Is only six ribbons to tie back your hair.

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.

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,
Is only 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,
Is only six ribbons to tie back your hair.
