Hearken to me both high and lowI'll sing for you a songOf Kings and Queens, and rose-lipped maidensCourting light foot ladsNow love is grand, when love is newThe heart blood, it runs strongThere's nothing a doting lad won't doTo keep his princess warmHe'll tease her with poems and promisesHe'll ask her out to danceHe'll cajole and he'll begAnd he'll always winIn bitter-sweet romanceCHORUS:For time it comes, and time it goesIt makes the strongest tree to bendKings and Queens have no defenceTime brings all things to an end.But he goes out, with his drinking palsHis eyes begin to roamHe forgets all about the brown-eyed beautyWho now, sits home aloneThere's no more walks, down lover's laneThere's no more wine in the sunAll that's left is a hollow painTime, alas you've wonCHORUSNow all who wish for love to stayAnd last your whole life throughKeep ahead of time me boysAnd never be untrueCHORUS
