《Blackbirds & Thrushes》歌词

[00:00:05] As I was a-walking for my recreation,

[00:00:12] Down by the green meadows I silently strayed.

[00:00:18] There I met a fair maid making great lamentation,

[00:00:25] “Oh, Jimmy will be slain in the wars I'm afraid.”

[00:00:34] The blackbirds and thrushes sing in the green bushes,

[00:00:41] The larks and the doves seem to mourn for this maid.

[00:00:47] And the song she sang was concerning her lover;

[00:00:54] “Oh, Jimmy will be slain in the wars I'm afraid.”

[00:01:03] When Jimmy returned with his heart full of yearning,

[00:01:10] He found his dear Mary all dead in her grave.

[00:01:16] He cried, “I'm forsaken, my poor heart is breaking,

[00:01:24] I wish that I never had left this fair maid.”
