Bella Hardy - Yellow Handkerchief Lyrics
All my friends and all you flash girls, take a warning by meAnd never build your nest at the top of the treeFor the green leaves they will wither and the roots will decayAnd the beauty of a young girl so soon fades awayOnce I had the colour as red as the roseBut now I am pale as the lily that growsMy looks are all gone like the men from my doorAnd it if wasn't for flash company I'd have never have been so poorSinging and dancing were all my delightAnd keeping flash company has ruined me quiteIt's ruined me quite and a great many moreAnd if it wasn't for flash company I'd have never have been so poorSo take this yellow handkerchief in remembrance of meAnd I hope you will wear it in your flash companyFlash company's been the ruin of me, and a great many moreAnd if it wasn't for flash company I'd have never have been so poor
