《Sylvia the Fair》歌词

[00:00:00] Sylvia The Fair - Ed McCurdy

[00:00:01] Sylvia the fair

[00:00:03] In the age of sixteen

[00:00:05] Felt an innocent warmth as she lay on the green

[00:00:09] She had heard of a pleasure

[00:00:11] And something she guessed

[00:00:13] By the towsing and tumbling and touching her breast

[00:00:17] She saw the men eager

[00:00:19] But was at a loss

[00:00:21] What they meant by their sighing and kissing so close

[00:00:25] By their praying and whining

[00:00:26] And clasping and twining

[00:00:27] And panting and wishing

[00:00:28] And sighing and kissing

[00:00:30] And sighing and kissing so close

[00:00:34] Ah she cried

[00:00:35] Ah for a languishing maid

[00:00:38] In a country of Christians to die without aid

[00:00:42] Not a whig or a tory

[00:00:44] Or trimmer at least

[00:00:46] Or a Protestant parson or catholic priest

[00:00:49] To instruct a young virgin that is at a loss

[00:00:53] What they meant by their sighing and kissing so close

[00:00:57] By their praying and whining

[00:00:59] And clasping and twining

[00:00:59] And panting and wishing

[00:01:00] And sighing and kissing

[00:01:02] And sighing and kissing so close

[00:01:07] Cupid in shape of a swain did appear

[00:01:11] He saw the sad wound

[00:01:13] And in pity drew near

[00:01:15] Then showed her his arrow

[00:01:17] And bid her not fear

[00:01:19] For the pain was no more than a maiden may bear

[00:01:22] When the balm was infused

[00:01:25] She was not at a loss

[00:01:28] What they meant by their sighing and kissing so close

[00:01:32] By their praying and whining

[00:01:34] And clasping and twining

[00:01:34] And panting and wishing

[00:01:35] And sighing and kissing

[00:01:38] And sighing and kissing so close
