# Queen of Hearts (Joan Baez song)

"Queen of Hearts" (Roud 3195) is a song sung by, among others, Joan Baez and Martin Carthy.

The lyrics are from a traditional song.

    To the Queen of Hearts is the Ace of Sorrow,
    He's here today and he's gone tomorrow.
    Young men are plenty but sweethearts few;
    If my love leave me, what shall I do?

## Joan Baez version

It was released as the B-Side of Baez' "Farewell Angelina", a Bob Dylan song, on Fontana Records in 1965. In The Joan Baez Ballad Book it is said to be traditional, though elsewhere erroneously attributed to David Coverdale and Micky Moody.
