[Jon English Cover]

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 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

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, love,

You're never alone, love

While you wear my ribbons

To tie 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...

I gave you six ribbons to tie back your hair
