《The Nightingale》歌词

[00:00:00] The Nightingale - Hawkers/Tramps

[00:00:07] As I went a walking one morning in May

[00:00:13] I met a young couple so far did we stray

[00:00:20] And one was a young maid

[00:00:22] So sweet and so fair

[00:00:25] And the other was a soldier

[00:00:27] And a brave grenadier

[00:00:31] And they kissed so sweet and comforting

[00:00:34] As they clung to each other

[00:00:38] They went arm in arm along the road

[00:00:41] Like sister and brother

[00:00:45] They went arm in arm along the road

[00:00:47] 'Til they came to a stream

[00:00:51] And they both sat down together love

[00:00:54] To hear the nightingale sing

[00:01:03] Out of his knapsack he took a fine fiddle

[00:01:10] He played her such merry tunes that

[00:01:13] You ever did hear

[00:01:16] He played her such merry tunes that

[00:01:19] The valley did ring

[00:01:21] And softly cried the fair maid as the

[00:01:25] Nightingale sings

[00:01:28] And they kissed so sweet and comforting

[00:01:31] As they clung to each other

[00:01:35] They went arm in arm along the road

[00:01:37] Like sister and brother

[00:01:41] They went arm in arm along the road

[00:01:44] 'Til they came to a stream

[00:01:48] And they both sat down together love

[00:01:50] To hear the nightingale sing

[00:02:00] Well then" says the fair maid

[00:02:02] "Will you marry me "

[00:02:06] "Oh no" says the soldier

[00:02:09] "however can that be "

[00:02:12] For I've my own wife

[00:02:15] At home in my own country

[00:02:17] And she is the finest little maid

[00:02:20] That you ever did see

[00:02:24] And they kissed so sweet and comforting

[00:02:27] As they clung to each other

[00:02:31] They went arm in arm along the road

[00:02:33] Like sister and brother

[00:02:37] They went arm in arm along the road

[00:02:40] 'Til they came to a stream

[00:02:43] And they both sat down together love

[00:02:46] To hear the nightingale sing

[00:02:56] Oh I'm off to India for seven long years

[00:03:02] Drinking wines and strong

[00:03:04] Whiskies instead of strong beer

[00:03:08] And if ever I return again 'twill be in the spring

[00:03:13] And we'll both sit down together love to

[00:03:16] Hear the nightingale sing

[00:03:20] And they kissed so sweet and comforting

[00:03:22] As they clung to each other

[00:03:27] They went arm in arm along the road

[00:03:29] Like sister and brother

[00:03:33] They went arm in arm along the road

[00:03:36] Til they came to a stream

[00:03:39] And they both sat down together love

[00:03:42] To hear the nightingale sing
