《A Sailor’s Life》歌词

[00:00:00] A Sailor's Life - Fairport Convention

[00:00:18] A sailor's life it is a merry life

[00:00:29] He robs young girls of their heart's delight

[00:00:40] Leaving them behind to weep and mourn

[00:00:53] They never know when they will return

[00:01:08] Well there's four and twenty all in a row

[00:01:18] My true love he makes the finest show

[00:01:30] He's proper tall genteel withal

[00:01:42] And if I don't have him I'll have none at all

[00:01:58] Oh father build for me a bonny boat

[00:02:09] That on the wide ocean I may float

[00:02:23] And every Queen's ship that we pass by

[00:02:35] There I'll inquire for my sailor boy

[00:03:29] They had not sailed long upon the deep

[00:03:40] When a queen's ship they chanced to meet

[00:03:53] You sailors all pray tell me true

[00:04:04] Does my sweet William sail among your crew

[00:04:16] Oh no fair maiden he is not here

[00:04:27] For he's been drownded we greatly fear

[00:04:41] On yon green island as we passed it by

[00:04:52] There we lost sight of your sailing boy

[00:05:03] Well she rung her hands and she tore her hair

[00:05:14] She was like a young girl in great despair

[00:05:29] And her little boat against a rock did run

[00:05:46] How can I live now my sweet William is gone
