《A Sailor’s Life》歌词

[00:00:00] A Sailor's Life - Fairport Convention

[00:00:15] A sailor's life it is a merry life

[00:00:28] He robs young girls of their heart's delight

[00:00:40] Leaving them behind to weep and mourn

[00:00:52] They never know when they will return

[00:01:08] "Well there's four and twenty all in a row

[00:01:18] My true love he makes the finest show

[00:01:29] He's proper tall genteel withal

[00:01:42] And if I don't have him I'll have none at all"

[00:01:58] "Oh father build for me a bonny boat

[00:02:08] That on the wide ocean I may float

[00:02:22] And every Queen's ship that we pass by

[00:02:34] There I'll inquire for my sailor boy"

[00:03:28] They had not sailed long upon the deep

[00:03:39] When a Queen's ship they chanced to meet

[00:03:52] "You sailors all pray tell me true

[00:04:02] Does my sweet William sail among your crew "

[00:04:14] "Oh no fair maiden he is not here

[00:04:25] For he's been drownded we greatly fear

[00:04:39] On yon green island as we passed it by

[00:04:50] There we lost sight of your sailing boy"

[00:05:02] Well she rung her hands and she tore her hair

[00:05:13] She was like a young girl in great despair

[00:05:27] And her little boat against a rock did run

[00:05:43] "How can I live now My sweet William is gone
