《The Constant Lovers》歌词

[00:00:00] The Constant Lovers - Kate Rusby

[00:00:07] A sailor courted a farmer's daughter that lived convenient to the Isle of Man

[00:00:14] And mark good people what followed after

[00:00:17] A long time courting and nothing done

[00:00:21] A long time courting but still discoursing of things concerning the ocean wide

[00:00:28] He said "My darling at our next meeting if you'll be constant

[00:00:34] I'll make you my bride "

[00:00:38] As for sailors I don't admire them because they sails in so many parts

[00:00:44] First they love you and then they slight you

[00:00:48] And leave you behind with a broken heart

[00:00:51] Don't say so my dearest jewel I never intended to serve you so

[00:00:58] I have once more to cross the ocean you know my darling that I must go

[00:01:11] The news was carried unto his mother before he set one foot on board

[00:01:17] That he was courting a farmer's daughter whose aged parents could not afford

[00:01:24] One penny portion down to the ocean like one distracted his mother ran

[00:01:31] If you don't forsake her your bride not make her

[00:01:35] I will dosown you to be my son

[00:01:50] Mother Mother you're in a passion I'm sorry you have spoke too late

[00:01:57] Don't you remember in your first beginning

[00:02:00] My father married you from a servant maid

[00:02:03] Don't you despise her I mean to rise her

[00:02:07] As my own father to you has done

[00:02:11] And I will take my bride I'll make her you may disown me to be your son

[00:02:24] When his truelove she heard the story straight to the ocean then she did run

[00:02:30] Saying in a passion you need not mind her

[00:02:34] We shall have money when they have none

[00:02:37] Money or not you are my lot

[00:02:41] You have my heart and my free good will

[00:02:44] And I will take my bride I'll make you

[00:02:47] Let my scolding mother say what she will

[00:02:56] The sailor married his farmer's daughter they live contented in the Isle of Man

[00:03:03] And mark good people what followed after a long time courting and all was done

[00:03:11] A long time courting and still discoursing of things concerning the ocean wide

[00:03:17] He said my darling my dearest jewel I love dearly my constant bride

[00:03:26] Constant bride constant bride my constant bride
