Ribbons ‘round my Tongue (Two Gallants)
(Capo +4)
Intro: 2x
1.
oh lady fair your stranglin’ hair ribbons round my tongue
I try to speak but my thoughts grow weak for all the yarns you’ve spun
I heard them say that evil may walk in beauty’s shoes
well if ever I could love myself then I’ll stop loving you
2.
were you out the other night flirting with all my friends
I heard you told a joke or two with my name at the end
hurry home I sit in stone tell me it just ain’t true
well if ever I could love myself then I’ll stop loving you
Bridge: 2x
3.
when you’re gone I’ll carry on it was never meant to last
and I’d much prefer to sit alone and drink about the past
or so I say some how some way till I believe its true
well if ever I could love myself then I’ll stop loving you
