Sigh No More, Ladies

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 mo
 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.
