I am a young sailor, my story is sad |
| [00:25] |
Though once I was carefree and a brave sailor lad |
| [00:32] |
I courted a lassie by night and by day |
| [00:40] |
Ah, but now she has left me and sailed far away |
| [00:50] |
Oh, if I was a blackbird, could whistle and sing |
| [00:59] |
I'd follow the vessel my true love sails in |
| [01:07] |
And in the top rigging, I would there build my nest |
| [01:15] |
And I'd flutter my wings over her lily-white breast |
| [01:25] |
Or if I was a scholar and could handle a pen |
| [01:33] |
One secret love letter to my true love I'd send |
| [01:41] |
And I'd tell of my sorrow, my grief and my pain |
| [01:50] |
Since she's gone and left me in yon flowery glen |
| [02:00] |
Oh, if I was a blackbird, could whistle and sing |
| [02:08] |
I'd follow the vessel my true love sails in |
| [02:16] |
And in the top rigging, I would there build my nest |
| [02:24] |
And I'd flutter my wings over her lily-white breast |
| [02:35] |
I sailed over the ocean, my fortune to seek |
| [02:42] |
And though I missed her caress and her kiss on my cheek |
| [02:50] |
I returned and I told her my love was still warm |
| [02:59] |
But she turned away lightly and great was her scorn |
| [03:09] |
Oh, if I was a blackbird, could whistle and sing |
| [03:16] |
I'd follow the vessel my true love sails in |
| [03:26] |
And in the top rigging, I would there build my nest |
| [03:34] |
And I'd flutter my wings over her lily-white breast |
| [04:17] |
I offered to take her to Donnybrook Fair |
| [04:26] |
And to buy her fine ribbons to tie up her hair |
| [04:34] |
I offered to marry and to stay by her side |
| [04:42] |
But she says in the morning she sailed with the tide |
| [04:53] |
Oh, if I was a blackbird, could whistle and sing |
| [05:00] |
I'd follow the vessel my true love sails in |
| [05:09] |
And in the top rigging, I would there build my nest |
| [05:16] |
And I'd flutter my wings over her lily-white breast |
| [05:26] |
My parents they chide me and will not agree |
| [05:35] |
Saying that me and my false love, married should never be |
| [05:42] |
Ah, but let them deprive me or let them do what they will |
| [05:50] |
While there's breath in my body, she's the one that I love still |
| [06:00] |
Oh, if I was a blackbird, could whistle and sing |
| [06:08] |
I'd follow the vessel my true love sails in |
| [06:17] |
And in the top rigging, I would there build my nest |
| [06:24] |
And I'd flutter my wings over her lily-white breast |
| [00:00.00] |
