《Sweet William and Fair Ellen》歌词

[00:00:28] sweet william rode up to the old man's gate

[00:00:35] and boldly he did say

[00:00:40] "oh the youngest daughter she my stay at home,

[00:00:44] but the oldest i'll take away"

[00:00:53] "come in,come in all seven of my sons

[00:01:00] and guard your sister round

[00:01:05] for it never shall be said the steward's son

[00:01:08] has taken my daughter out of town"

[00:01:21] "i thank you sir,and it's very kind

[00:01:27] but i'm none of the steward's son

[00:01:32] my father was a reginer's king

[00:01:35] my mother's a quaker's queen"

[00:01:47] so he got on his snow-white steed

[00:01:53] and she on the dapple gray

[00:01:58] he swung his bugle horn around his neck

[00:02:02] and they went riding away

[00:02:14] they hadn't gone more than a mile out of town

[00:02:20] 'til she looked back again

[00:02:25] and she saw her father and all seven of her brothers

[00:02:29] come tripling over the plain

[00:02:38] "light down'light down"sweet william said he

[00:02:45] and hold my steed by the reigns

[00:02:49] "i'll fight your father and all seven of your brothers

[00:02:53] come tripling over the plain"

[00:03:05] "slack your hand,slack your hand!"sweet william said she

[00:03:11] "your wounds are very sore

[00:03:16] the blood runs free from every vein

[00:03:20] oh father i can have no more"

[00:03:30] so he got on his snow-white steed

[00:03:36] and she on the dapple gray

[00:03:41] he swung his bugle horn around his neck

[00:03:45] and they went bleeding away

[00:03:58] they rode all night to his mother's gate

[00:04:04] and tingling on the ring

[00:04:09] "oh mother,mother asleep or awake

[00:04:13] arise and let me in"

[00:04:22] "bind my head,bind my head!"sweet william said he

[00:04:29] my wounds are very sore

[00:04:33] the blood runs free from every vein

[00:04:38] for me you will bind no more"

[00:04:49] about two hours,before it was day

[00:04:56] as the foweles began to crow

[00:05:01] sweet william died from the wounds he received

[00:05:04] fair ellen died from sorrow
