Lyrics
It was pleasant and delightful on a midsummer's morn And the green fields and the meadows were all covered in corn And the blackbirds and thrushes sang on every green spray And the larks they sang melodious at the dawning of the day And the larks they sang melodious at the dawning of the day And the larks they sang melodious And the larks they sang melodious And the larks they sang melodious at the dawning of the day Now a sailor and his true love were a-walking one day Said the sailor to his true love, “I am bound far away I'm bound for the East Indies where the loud cannons roar And I'm bound to leave you Nancy, you're the girl that I adore And I'm bound to leave you Nancy And I'm bound to leave you Nancy And I'm bound to leave you Nancy, you're the girl that I adore.” Then the ring from off her finger she instantly drew Saying, “Take this, dearest William, and my heart will go too” And as they were embracing tears from her eyes fell Saying, “May I go along with you?” “Oh no, my love, farewell” Saying, “May I go along with you?” Saying, “May I go along with you?” Saying, “May I go along with you?” “Oh no, my love, farewell” “Fare thee well my dearest Nancy, no longer can I stay For the topsails are hoisted and the anchors aweigh And the ship she lies waiting for the fast flowing tide And if ever I return again, I will make you my bride And if ever I return again And if ever I return again And if ever I return again, I will make you my bride”
