When I Was One and Twenty by Ben Moore
Performed by
Ben MooreWhen I Was One and Twenty Lyrics
When I was one-and-twenty
I heard [a wise man]1 say
"Give crowns and pounds and guineas
But not your heart away;
Give pearls away and rubies
But keep your fancy free."
But I was one-and-twenty
No use to talk to me
When I was one-and-twenty
I heard him say again
"The heart out of the bosom
Was never given in vain;
'Tis paid with sighs a plenty
And sold for endless rue."
And I am two-and-twenty
And oh, 'tis true, 'tis true
When I Was One and Twenty Q&A
