Lyrics
Sigh No more, ladies, Sigh no More
Men were deceivers ever
One foot in the sea, and one on the shore
To one thing constant... never
Oh, 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 leafy
Oh, sigh not so, but let them go
And be you blithe and bonny
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into hey... nonny, nonny...
Oh, sigh not so, but let them go
And be you blithe and bonny (Oh!)
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into hey... nonny, nonny...
Into hey... nonny, nonny...
Sigh no more, ladies, Sigh no more
