《Billy Grimes the Rover》歌词

[00:00:00] Billy Grimes the Rover - Shelor Family/E.K. Brewer/M. Mooney

[00:00:17] Tomorrow morn I'll be sixteen

[00:00:19] And Billy Grimes the rover

[00:00:21] He's popped the question to me ma

[00:00:23] And he wants to be my lover

[00:00:33] And he'll be here in the morning ma

[00:00:35] And he'll be there quite early

[00:00:37] To take a pleasant walk with me

[00:00:39] Across yon fields of barley

[00:00:49] Oh daughter dear you shall not go

[00:00:51] There is no use in talking

[00:00:53] You shall not go with Billy Grimes

[00:00:55] Across yon fields a walking

[00:01:05] Just think of such presumption too

[00:01:08] The dirty ugly rover

[00:01:10] I wonder where your pride has gone

[00:01:12] To think of such a lover

[00:01:22] Oh mama dear I must confess

[00:01:24] That Billy isn't quite clever

[00:01:26] But a nicer beau could not be found

[00:01:28] In this wide world all over

[00:01:46] Oh daughter dear I am surprised

[00:01:48] At your infatuation

[00:01:50] To think of having Billy Grimes

[00:01:52] It would be ruination

[00:02:02] Oh mama dear old Grimes is dead

[00:02:05] And Billy is the only

[00:02:07] Surviving heir of all that's left

[00:02:09] About six thousand yearly

[00:02:19] Oh daughter dear I did not hear

[00:02:21] Your last remarks quite clearly

[00:02:23] But Billy is a nice young man

[00:02:25] And no doubt loves you dearly
