Sigh no more, ladies

Geoffrey Bush

Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more,

Men were deceivers ever;

[One foot in sea and one on shore;

To one thing constant never.]

Then sigh not so,

But let them go,

And be you blithe and bonny;

Converting all your sounds of woe

Into Hey nonny, nonny.

Sing no more ditties, sing no more,

Of dumps so dull and heavy;

[The fraud of men was ever so

Since summer first was leavy.]

Then sigh not so,

But let them go,

And be you blithe and bonny;

Converting all your sounds of woe

Into Hey nonny, nonny.
