[00:00:00] Sweet Polly Oliver (甜蜜的波利·奥利弗) - Sarah Brightman

[00:00:02] Written by：trad/britten benjamin

[00:00:08] As sweet Polly Oliver lay musing in bed

[00:00:14] A sudden strange fancy came into her head

[00:00:21] Nor father nor mother shall make me false prove

[00:00:27] I'll 'list as a soldier

[00:00:31] And follow my love

[00:00:37] So early next morning she softly arose

[00:00:43] And dressed herself up in her

[00:00:47] Dead brother's clothes

[00:00:50] She cut her hair close

[00:00:53] And she stained her face brown

[00:00:56] And went for a soldier to fair London Town

[00:01:06] Then up spoke the sergeant one day at his drill

[00:01:12] Now who's good for nursing

[00:01:15] A captain he's ill

[00:01:18] I'm ready said Polly

[00:01:22] To nurse him she's gone

[00:01:25] And finds it's her true love all wasted and wan

[00:01:37] The first week the docter kept shaking his head

[00:01:45] No nursing young fellow can save him he said

[00:01:53] But when Pooly Oliver had nursed him back to life

[00:01:59] He cried you have cherished

[00:02:02] Him as if you were his wife

[00:02:09] O then Polly Oliver

[00:02:12] She burst into tears

[00:02:16] And told the good doctor her hopes and her fears

[00:02:22] And very shortly after for better or for worse

[00:02:29] The captain took joyfully his pretty soldier nurse
