Come all you fair and tender girls
That flourish in your prime,
Beware, beware, keep your garden fair
Let no man steal your thyme,
Let no man steal your thyme.
For when your thyme is past and gone
He'll care no more for you,
And every place where your garden was waste
With spread all over with rue,
With spread all over with rue
A woman is a branchy tree
And man's a clinging vine,
And from her branches carelessly
He takes what he can find.
He will take what he can find
He will take what he can find
