Broadside ballad entitled ''Tis But A Little Faded Flower' |
Transcription'TIS BUT A LITTLE FADED PRICE ONE PENNY This Popular Song can always be had at the Poet's Fox Tis but a little faded flower, But oh, how fondly dear, Through many, through many a weary- The secret, the secret of its power, I keep my faded flower, I keep my CHORUS 'Tis but a little faded flower, But oh, how fondly dear, Thro' many, thro' many a weary year Where is the heart that does not keep, Withtn its inmost core, Of days, of days that are no more; More prixed, more prixed than jewels rair, hair. 'Tis but I little faden flower, It brings me back my chieldhood hours, But years have passed, and I have known, away, Just like this little faded flower, That pine and pass away, that pine and pass away.
