Two Gallants Ribbons round my tongue Lyrics

Oh Lady Fair
Your Stranglin' Hair
Ribbons round my tongue
I try to speak
but my thoughts grow weak
for all the yarns you've spun
i heard them say
that evil may
walk in beauty's shoes
well if ever i
could love myself
then i'll stop loving you.

Were you out
the other night
flirtin' with all my friends
i heard you told
a joke or two
with my name at the end
come 'round home
i'm all alone
and tell me it just aint true
but if ever i
could love myself
and i'll stop loving you.

When you go
i'll carry on
it's never meant to last
i much prefer to sit alone
and drink about the past
so i say
somehow, someway
till i believe it's true
but if ever i
could love myself
i'll stop loving you.
