It was pleasant and delightful one midsummer's morn
When the
fields and the meadows were all covered in corn
And the blackbirds and thrushes sang on every
green spray
And the larks they sang melodious at the dawning of the day
And the larks they
sang melodious (3x) at the dawning of the day
A sailor and his true love were a'walking
one day
Said the sailor to his truelove I am bound far away
I am bound for the East Indies
where the load cannons roar
I must go and leave my Nancy, she's the girl that I adore
(as
above)
Then the ring from off her finger she instantly drew
Saying, Take this my
dearest William and my heart will go too
And whilst he stood embracing her tears from her eyes
fell
Saying, May I go along with you, o no, my love, farewell
So it's fare thee well
my Nancy, I can no longer stay
For the topsail is hoisted and the anchor aweigh
And the
ship lies awaiting for the next flowing tide
And if ever I return again, I will make you my
bride
@harmony @love @sailor
