Henry Balfour Gardiner – When I Was One and Twenty Lyrics

Artist: Henry Balfour Gardiner
Song: When I Was One and Twenty

When I was one-and-twenty
I heard a wise man 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
