《A Maiden Did A-Bathing Go》歌词

[00:00:00] A Maiden Did A-Bathing Go - Ed McCurdy

[00:00:04] The four and twentieth day of May

[00:00:07] Of all days in the year sir

[00:00:10] A virgin lady fresh and gay

[00:00:12] Did privately appear sir

[00:00:16] Hard by a riverside got she

[00:00:18] And did sing loud the rather

[00:00:21] For she was sure she was secure

[00:00:24] And had intent to bath her

[00:00:30] With glittering glancing jealous eyes

[00:00:32] She shyly looks about sir

[00:00:35] To see if any lurking spies were hid

[00:00:38] To find her out sir

[00:00:41] And being well resolved

[00:00:43] That none could see her nakedness sir

[00:00:46] She pulled her robes off one by one

[00:00:49] And did herself undress sir

[00:00:55] Into a fluent stream she leapt

[00:00:57] She looked like Venus' glass sir

[00:01:00] The fishes from all quarters

[00:01:02] Crept to see so fair a lass sir

[00:01:06] Each fish did wish himself a man

[00:01:08] About her all were drawn sir

[00:01:11] And at the sight of her began to

[00:01:13] Spread about their spawn sir

[00:01:20] A lad that long her love had been

[00:01:22] And could obtain no grace sir

[00:01:25] For all her prying lay unseen

[00:01:27] Hid in a secret place sir

[00:01:30] Who had often been repulsed

[00:01:32] When he had come to woo her

[00:01:35] Pulled off his clothes and furiously

[00:01:38] Did run and leap into her

[00:01:44] She squeaked she cried and down she dived

[00:01:46] He brought her up again sir

[00:01:49] He brought her all up upon the shore

[00:01:52] And then and then and then sir

[00:01:55] As Adam did old Eve enjoy

[00:01:57] You may guess what I mean sir

[00:02:00] Because she all uncovered lay

[00:02:03] He covered her again sir

[00:02:09] With watered eyes she pants and cries

[00:02:11] I'm utterly undone sir

[00:02:14] If you will not be wed to me

[00:02:17] By the next morning sun sir

[00:02:19] He answered her

[00:02:20] He would not stir out of her sight till then sir

[00:02:24] We'll both clasp hands in wedlock bands

[00:02:28] Marry and to it again sir
