The Lass With The Delicate Air - Josh White
Now the tavern was crowded
And two couples were there
They were served by a lass
With a rose in her hair
Now her manner was charming
And her beauty was rare
And true did she had a most delicate air
The most delicate air
And they called her the lass
With that delicate air
Now some soldiers were passing
And they looked through the glass
They were struck by the charm of this delicate lass
And they waited in longing
Her kisses to share
Cause true did she had a most delicate air
The most delicate air
And they toasted that lass
With that delicate air
Now a sailor arose
Who had been everywhere
He said he had never seen a lass quite so fair
And he vowed he would marry
That little lass then and there
Cause true did she had a most delicate air
The most delicate air
And he wanted that lass
With that delicate air
Well he offered his heart
And he offered his hand
And he painted a future so rosy and grand
Dear sir she replied
Ask the bartender there
That man is wed to the lass
With that delicate air
The most delicate air
So goodbye to the lass with that delicate air
