Connie Smith - A Tale From Tahrarrie lyrics
Mother, oh Mother, he asked me to marry
 He asked for my hand in the fall
 But Mother, oh Mother, you said child be wary
 When a sweet talking man comes to call
 He's handsome, he's charming and so debonair
 With blue eyes and hair of pure gold
 On his stallion of white, he's seen the whole world
 But I long to see deep in his soul
 To the town of Tahrarrie, he took me out dancing
 Then we took a walk by the sea
 We laughed and we talked and we did some romancing
 Love came like a soft gentle breeze
 But Mother, oh Mother, how can I know
 What his heart holds deep down inside
 You've always warned me the trouble with love
 It makes truth out of nothing but lies
 Connie Smith - A Tale From Tahrarrie - http://motolyrics.com/connie-smith/a-tale-from-tahrarrie-lyrics.html
 He promised the treasures much more than I dreamed
 He placed a fine ring on my hand
 He pledged me his love, swore he'd make me his queen
 We'd travel to far distant lands
 But Mother, oh Mother, what if I go
 And find that his love is not true
 But if I refuse him, what if I lose him
 Oh Mother, what shall I do
 Part of me wants to let go of my heart
 Part of me says run away
 Run from the flame of this burning desire
 That seems to grow stronger each day
 Mother, oh Mother, he asked me to marry
 He asked for my hand in the fall
 But Mother, oh Mother, you said child be wary
 When a sweet talking man comes to call
