《There Was A Wealthy Merchant》歌词

[00:00:00] There Was A Wealthy Merchant - Steeleye Span

[00:00:27] There was a wealthy merchant

[00:00:30] In London he did dwell

[00:00:36] He had a beautiful daughter

[00:00:39] The truth to you I'll tell

[00:00:44] Oh the truth to you I'll tell

[00:00:54] She had sweethearts a-plenty

[00:00:57] And men of high degree

[00:01:02] But none but Jack the sailor

[00:01:06] Her true love ere could be

[00:01:11] Oh her true love ere could be

[00:01:21] Jack he's gone a-sailing

[00:01:24] With trouble on his mind

[00:01:29] He's left his king and his country

[00:01:32] And his darling girl behind

[00:01:37] Oh his darling girl behind

[00:02:14] She went down to a tailor's shop

[00:02:17] And dressed in men's array

[00:02:22] She's signed a bill of passage

[00:02:26] To convey herself away

[00:02:29] Oh convey herself away

[00:02:37] Before you get on board Sir

[00:02:40] Your name we'd like to know

[00:02:45] She smiled all in her countenance

[00:02:49] They call me Jack-a-Roe

[00:02:53] Oh they call me Jack-a-Roe

[00:03:04] I see your waist is slender

[00:03:07] Your fingers they are small

[00:03:10] Your cheeks to red and rosy

[00:03:14] To face the cannonball

[00:03:14] I know my waist is slender

[00:03:21] And my fingers they are small

[00:03:23] But it would not make me tremble

[00:03:27] To see ten thousand fall

[00:03:33] To see them fall

[00:03:41] The war soon being over

[00:03:44] She went and looked around

[00:03:49] Among the dead and wounded

[00:03:52] Her darling boy she found

[00:03:57] Oh her darling boy she found

[00:04:04] She picked him up all in her arms

[00:04:08] And carried him to the town

[00:04:12] She sent for a physician

[00:04:16] Who quickly healed his wounds

[00:04:21] Oh who quickly healed his wounds

[00:04:30] This couple they got married

[00:04:34] So well they did agree

[00:04:39] This couple they got married

[00:04:42] So why not you and me

[00:04:48] Oh why not you and me
