Young men, they say are bold and free
Beware, oh take care
They say they're true, but they’re liars, you see
Beware, oh take care

Beware, young ladies, they're fooling you
Trust them not, they're fooling you
Beware, young ladies, they’re fooling you
Beware, oh take care

Around their neck they wear a guard
Beware, oh take care
And in their pocked is a deck of cards
Beware, oh take care

Beware, young ladies, they're fooling you
Trust them not, they're fooling you
Beware, young ladies, they're fooling you
Beware, oh take care

They smoke, they chew, They wear fine shoes
Beware, oh take care
And in the other pocket is a bottle of booze
Beware, oh take care

Beware, young ladies, they're fooling you
Trust them not, they're fooling you
Beware, young ladies, they're fooling you
Beware, oh take care
They hold their hand up to their heart
They sigh, oh they sigh
They say they love no one but you
They lie, oh they lie

Beware, young ladies, they're fooling you
Trust them not, they’re fooling you
Beware, young ladies, they’re fooling you
Beware, oh take care
Beware, oh take care
