As I rolled out one May morning down by the riverside |
| [00:18.46] |
There I beheld my lovely fair, oh then to be my bride |
| [00:25.65] |
Oh then to be my bride, my boys, and the chambers to behold |
| [00:32.61] |
May the heavens above protect my love, for a jolly sailor bold |
| [00:56.77] |
I'll give my love a gallant ship, a ship of noble fame |
| [01:04.16] |
With a hundred and seventy sailor boys to box about the main |
| [01:11.15] |
To box about the main, my boys, with neither fear nor doubt |
| [01:18.44] |
But with my true love in that gallant ship, i was sadly tossed about |
| [01:28.16] |
The anchor and the cable went overboard that day |
| [01:35.37] |
The mainmast and the rigging lay a-buried in the sea |
| [01:42.19] |
It was tempest sent bad weather and the raging of the sea |
| [01:49.93] |
I never never had but one true love, and he was drowned at sea |
| [01:58.85] |
Said the father to his daughter, " What makes you so lament? |
| [02:06.37] |
For there is a lad in our town who will make your heart content " |
| [02:13.44] |
“There is not a lad in our town, neither lord nor duke, " said she |
| [02:20.87] |
“Since the raging seas and stormy winds parted my love and me " |
| [02:45.58] |
No hankerchief shall bind my head, no comb go through my hair |
| [02:53.40] |
No fireside bright and nor candle light shall view my beauty fair |
| [03:00.42] |
Oh and neither shall I marry until the day I die |
| [03:08.12] |
Since the raging seas and stormy winds parted my love and I " |
