《Banks Of The Nile》歌词

[00:00:00] Banks Of The Nile - Sandy Denny

[00:00:25] Oh hark the drums do beat

[00:00:31] My love no longer can we stay

[00:00:42] The bugle-horns are sounding clear

[00:00:49] And we must march away

[00:00:58] Were ordered down to portsmouth

[00:01:05] And its many is the weary mile

[00:01:14] To join the british army on the banks of the nile

[00:01:34] Oh willie dearest willie

[00:01:43] Dont leave me here to mourn

[00:01:50] Dont make me curse and rue the day that ever I was born

[00:02:07] For the parting of our love would be like parting with my life

[00:02:22] So stay at home

[00:02:25] My dearest love

[00:02:30] And I will be your wife

[00:02:49] Oh my nancy dearest nancy

[00:02:59] Sure that will never do

[00:03:06] The government has ordered

[00:03:13] And we are bound to go

[00:03:22] The government has ordered

[00:03:30] And the queen she gives command

[00:03:36] And I am bound on oath my love

[00:03:46] To serve in a foreign land

[00:03:56] Oh but Ill cut off my yellow hair

[00:04:06] And Ill go along with you

[00:04:14] Ill dress myself in uniform

[00:04:21] And Ill see egypt too

[00:04:29] Ill march beneath your banner while fortune it do smile

[00:04:43] And well comfort one another

[00:04:53] On the banks of the nile

[00:05:12] But your waist it is too slender

[00:05:21] And your fingers they are too small

[00:05:29] In the sultry suns of egypt your rosy cheeks would spoil

[00:05:44] Where the cannons they do rattle

[00:05:52] When the bullets they do fly

[00:05:59] And the silver trumpets sound

[00:06:08] So loud to hide the dismal cries

[00:06:18] Oh cursed be those cruel wars

[00:06:27] That ever they began

[00:06:35] For they have robbed our country

[00:06:42] Of manys the handsome men

[00:06:51] Theyve robbed us of our sweethearts

[00:06:58] While their bodies they feed the lions

[00:07:04] On the dry and sandy deserts

[00:07:14] Which are the banks of the nile
