There Are Plenty of Fish in the Sea by Stephen Foster Lyrics

(Verse 1)
A lady tossed her curls
At all who came to woo
She laughed to scorn the vows
From hearts, though false or true
While merrily she sang
And cared all day for naught
There are plenty of fish in the sea
As good as ever were caught
There are plenty of fish in the sea
As good as ever were caught

(Verse 2)
Upon their lightning wings
The merry years did glide
A careless life she led
And was not yet a bride
Still as of old she sang
Though few to win her sought
There are plenty of fish in the sea
As good as ever were caught
There are plenty of fish in the sea
As good as ever were caught
(Verse 3)
At length the lady grew
Exceedingly alarmed
For beaux had grown quite shy
Her face no longer charmed
And now she sadly sings
The lesson time has taught
There are plenty of fish in the sea
But oh, they're hard to be caught
There are plenty of fish in the sea
But oh, they’re hard to be caught
