Sorry the Day I was Married

Lyrics

Sorry the day I was married And sorry the day I was wed And it's oh, if I only had tarried When I to the altar was led Sweet William, sure there's no pleasing For let women do what they can Always your heart he'll be teasing For that is the way of a man When I was a young girl I was bonny Had silks and fine jewels to wear Red were my cheeks like the berry My heart it was free from all care Silks now I have none for wearing My jewels have all blown away Surely this life is past bearing I'm palе as the primrose today So think, all you girls, erе you marry Stand fast by your sweet liberty As long as you can, you must tarry And not be lamenting like me For it's sorry the day I was married And sorry the day I was wed And it's oh, if I only had tarried When I to the altar was led
