《The Nightingale》歌词

[00:00:00] As I went a walking one morning in May

[00:00:06] I met a young couple so far did we stray

[00:00:11] And one was a young maid

[00:00:14] So sweet and so fair

[00:00:16] And the other was a soldier

[00:00:19] And a brave grenadier

[00:00:21] And they kissed so sweet and comforting

[00:00:23] As they clung to each other

[00:00:26] They went arm in arm along the road

[00:00:28] Like sister and brother

[00:00:31] They went arm in arm along the road

[00:00:34] 'Til they came to a stream

[00:00:36] And they both sat down together love

[00:00:38] To hear the nightingale sing

[00:00:44] Out of his knapsack he took a fine fiddle

[00:00:50] He played her such merry tunes

[00:00:52] That you ever did hear

[00:00:56] He played her such merry tunes

[00:00:58] That the valley did ring

[00:01:00] And softly cried the fair maid

[00:01:03] As the nightingale sings

[00:01:06] And they kissed so sweet and comforting

[00:01:08] As they clung to each other

[00:01:10] They went arm in arm along the road

[00:01:12] Like sister and brother

[00:01:16] They went arm in arm along the road

[00:01:18] 'Til they came to a stream

[00:01:21] And they both sat down together love

[00:01:23] To hear the nightingale sing

[00:01:29] Oh I'm off to India for seven long years

[00:01:34] Drinking wines and strong

[00:01:36] Whiskies instead of strong beer

[00:01:40] And if ever I return again 'twill be in the spring

[00:01:45] And we'll both sit down together love

[00:01:47] To hear the nightingale sing

[00:01:50] And they kissed so sweet and comforting

[00:01:52] As they clung to each other

[00:01:55] They went arm in arm along the road

[00:01:57] Like sister and brother

[00:02:00] They went arm in arm along the road

[00:02:03] Til they came to a stream

[00:02:05] And they both sat down together love

[00:02:07] To hear the nightingale sing

[00:02:13] "Well then" says the fair maid

[00:02:15] "Will you marry me "

[00:02:19] "Oh no" says the soldier

[00:02:21] "however can that be "

[00:02:25] For I've my own wife at home in my own country

[00:02:29] And she is the finest little maid

[00:02:32] That you ever did see

[00:02:34] And they kissed so sweet and comforting

[00:02:36] As they clung to each other

[00:02:39] They went arm in arm along the road

[00:02:41] Like sister and brother

[00:02:44] They went arm in arm along the road

[00:02:47] 'Til they came to a stream

[00:02:49] And they both sat down together love

[00:02:52] To hear the nightingale sing
