K:C W:1 W:Once I had a colour as red as a rose W:Now my colour has fade like the lily that grow W:Now my colour has fade like the lily that do grow W:And if it wasn't for flash company I should never been so poor. W: W:2 W:So you take this yellow handkerchief in a remembrance of me W:And tie that round your neck, my love, in flash company W:Flash company's been the ruin of me and the ruin of me quite W:If it wasn't for flash company I should never been so poor. W: W:3 W:Now it's singing and a dancing sure that is my delight W:Flash company being the ruin of me and the ruin of me quite W:Flash company being the ruin of me and a great many more W:If it wasn't for flash company I should never been so poor. W: W:4 W:Now you take a yellow handkerchief in a remembrance of me W:And tie that round your neck, my love, in a flash company W:Now flash company's been the ruin of me and a great many more W:If it wasn't for flash company I should never been so poor. W: W:5 W:Now its all you little flash girls take a warning by me W:And never build your nest my love on the top of a tree W:For the green leaves they will wither and the roots they will decade W:And the beauty of a fair young maid that will soon fade away W: W:6 W:So you take this yellow handkerchief in a remembrance of me W:And tie that round your neck, my love, in your flash company W:Flash company's been the ruin of me and the ruin of me quite W:If it wasn't for flash company I should never been so poor.
