Six Ribbons - Jon English

Six Ribbons

Jon English

If I were a minstrel, 

I'd sing you six love songs,

To tell the whole worldof 

the love that we share

If I were a merchant, 

I'd bring you six diaamonds,

With six blood redd roses, 

for my love to wear

But I am a simple man, 

a poor common farmer,

So take my six ribbons to 

tie back your hair

Yellow and brown, blue as the sky,

Red as my blood, blue as your eye

If I were a nobleman, 

I'd bring you six carriages 

With six snow white horses, 

to take youu any where 

If I were the emperor (yellow and brown),

I'd build you six palaces (blue as the sky), 

With six hundred servants (red as my blood) 

For comforting fare (green as your eyes)

But I am a simple man, 

a poor common farmer,

So take my six ribbons to 

tie back your hair

If I were a minstrel, 

I'd sing you six love songs,

To tell the whole world, 

of the love that we share

So benot afraid mylove, 

you're never alonelove,

While you wear my ribbons, 

tyin back your hair

Once I was a simple man, 

a poor common farmer,

I gave you six ribbons, 

to tie back your hair

Tooralee, tooralie, all I can share,

Is only six ribbons, to tie back your hair

Tooralee, tooralie, all I can share,

I gave you six ribbons, 

to tie back your hair

Hi Jupps,

If I were a Mukesh, 

I'd sing you six Hindi songs,

To tell the whole worldof 

the love that we share

If I were a businessman, 

I'd bring you six diaamonds,

With six blood redd roses, 

for my love to wear

But I am a simple man, 

a poor common engineer,

So take my six ribbons to 

tie back your hair

Yellow and brown, blue as the sky,

Red as my blood, blue as your eye

If I were a billionaire, 

I'd bring you six Jaguars

With six snow white Baileys, 

to take youu any where 

If I were a Rajah (yellow and brown),

I'd build you six palaces (blue as the sky), 

With six hundred servants (red as my blood) 

For comforting fare (green as your eyes)

But I am a simple man, 

a poor common engineer,

So take these six ribbons to 

tie back your hair

If I were a Mukesh, 

I'd sing you six Hindi songs,

To tell the whole world, 

of the love that we share

So benot afraid mylove, 

you're neveralone love,

While you wear my ribbons, 

tyin back your hair

Once I was a simple man, 

a poor common farmer,

I gave you six ribbons, 

to tie back your hair

Tooralee, tooralie, all I can share,

Is only six ribbons, to tie back your hair

Tooralee, tooralie, all I can share,

I gave you six ribbons, 

to tie back your hair
