《The Youth Of The Heart》歌词

[00:00:01] The Youth Of The Heart - Flanders & Swann

[00:00:05] When I was a young man, I hadn't a penny,

[00:00:09] When shall we marry?,

[00:00:10] My Molly would say.

[00:00:12] But I was a wise man and said to my darling,

[00:00:17] Love that is true love will not fade away

[00:00:23] Oh, the youth of the heart,

[00:00:26] And the dew in the mornin'.

[00:00:29] You wake, and they've left you,

[00:00:32] Without any warnin'.

[00:00:39] I went to America looking for money,

[00:00:42] I worked all the day and I slept all alone.

[00:00:46] The sweet silver dollars I saved for my darling,

[00:00:51] To clothe her in satin and make her my own.

[00:00:56] Oh, the youth of the heart,

[00:01:00] And the dew in the mornin'.

[00:01:02] You wake, and they've left you,

[00:01:06] Without any warnin'.

[00:01:13] I came back to Ireland, my pockets a-jingle,

[00:01:16] And the wedding bells rang

[00:01:18] As I came down the street.

[00:01:21] Oh, where is the colleen

[00:01:22] I've come back to marry?

[00:01:24] I asked the first neighbour

[00:01:27] I happened to meet.

[00:01:30] Oh, the youth of the heart,

[00:01:33] And the dew in the mornin'.

[00:01:36] You wake, and they've left you,

[00:01:40] Without any warnin'.

[00:01:47] Your love has grown weary

[00:01:49] Of keeping her kisses,

[00:01:51] And learning a song that will never be sung.

[00:01:54] This morning, your Molly has married another,

[00:01:58] A penniless man with a heart that is young.

[00:02:04] Oh, the youth of the heart,

[00:02:07] And the dew in the mornin'.

[00:02:11] You wake, and they've left you,

[00:02:15] Without any warnin'.

[00:02:22] So all you young lovers all ready to marry,

[00:02:25] Remember my story and mind what I say.

[00:02:30] For I was a wise man, and now I am sorry,

[00:02:36] The wisdom of winter is madness in May.

[00:02:43] Oh, the youth of the heart,

[00:02:47] And the dew in the mornin'.

[00:02:51] You wake, and they've left you,

[00:02:55] Without any warnin'.
