Sorry The Day I Was Married
English traditional

Sorry the day I was married
Sorry the day I was wed
And it's oh, if I only had tarried
When I to the alter was led

Young William sure there's no pleasin'
Let women do what they can
It's always your heart they'll be teasin'
For that is the way of a man

When I was a young lass I was bonnie
Had silks and bright jewels to wear
Red were my cheeks as a berry
And my heart was free from all care

Silk now I have none for me wearin'
My jewels have all gone away
And surely in life there's none barren
As pale as a primrose today

Think pretty young maids are you married
Stand fast by your sweet liberty
As long as you can you must tarry
And not be lamenting like me
