《The Nightingale》歌词

[00:00:07] Now as I was a walking one morning in may

[00:00:12] I saw a sweet couple together at play

[00:00:19] And the one was a fair maid and her beauty shone clear

[00:00:24] And the other was a soldier a brave grenadier

[00:00:29] But they kissed so sweet and comforting

[00:00:30] As they pressed to each other

[00:00:34] They went arming along the road like sister and brother

[00:00:39] They went arming along the road till they came to a spring

[00:00:44] Then they both sat down together just to hear the nightingale sing

[00:00:50] Then out of his knapsack a long fiddle he drew

[00:00:55] And he played her such merry tunes as she ever knew

[00:01:01] And he played her such merry tunes caused the valleys to ring

[00:01:06] Hark hark replied the fair maid how the nightingales sing

[00:01:11] But they kissed so sweet and comforting

[00:01:14] As they pressed to each other

[00:01:15] They went arming along the road like sister and brother

[00:01:21] They went arming along the road till they came to a spring

[00:01:26] Then they both sat down together just to hear the nightingale sing

[00:01:33] Now I'm going to india for seven long years

[00:01:38] Drinking wines and strong whiskey instead of strong beers

[00:01:44] But if I ever return again it will be in the spring

[00:01:49] Then we'll both sit down together love and hear the nightingale sing

[00:01:54] But they kissed so sweet and comforting

[00:01:56] As they pressed to each other

[00:01:58] They went arming along the road like sister and brother

[00:02:04] They went arming along the road till they came to a spring

[00:02:09] Then they both sat down together just to hear the nightingale sing

[00:02:36] Now said the fair maid come soldier marry me

[00:02:42] Oh no said the soldier how ever can that be

[00:02:48] For I've a nice little wife at home in my own countery

[00:02:53] And she is the smartest little woman that your eyes ever see

[00:02:57] But they kissed so sweet and comforting

[00:03:00] As they pressed to each other

[00:03:02] They went arming along the road like sister and brother

[00:03:08] They went arming along the road till they came to a spring

[00:03:13] Then they both sat down together just to hear the nightingale sing
