Enough Rope/Folk Tune
Folk Tune
OTHER lads, their ways are daring: Other lads, they’re not afraid;Other lads, they show they’re caring; Other lads—they know a maid.Wiser Jock than ever you were, Will’s with gayer spirit blest,Robin’s kindlier and truer,— Why should I love you the best?
Other lads, their eyes are bolder. Young they are, and strong and slim,Ned is straight and broad of shoulder, Donald has a way with him.David stands a head above you, Dick’s as brave as Lancelot,—Why, ah why, then, should I love you? Naturally, I do not.
