《Matt Hyland》歌词

[00:00:03] Matt Hyland - Cherish The Ladies

[00:00:17] There was a lord lived in this town

[00:00:24] Who had a fair and lovely daughter

[00:00:31] She was courted by a handsome man

[00:00:38] Who was a servant to her father

[00:00:45] But when her parents came to know

[00:00:51] They swore they'd ban him from the island

[00:00:58] This maid she knew

[00:01:01] That her heart would break

[00:01:05] Had she to part with young Matt Hyland

[00:01:23] Straightway to her love

[00:01:28] She went and then

[00:01:31] Into his room to wake him

[00:01:37] Saying "Arise my love and go away

[00:01:45] This very night you will be taken

[00:01:51] I overheard my parents say

[00:01:58] In spite of me they would transport you

[00:02:05] Arise my love and go away

[00:02:11] I wish to God I'd gone before you"

[00:02:18] They both sat down

[00:02:22] All upon the bed all for the sight

[00:02:27] Of one another

[00:02:32] And not one word did either speak

[00:02:39] 'Til down her cheeks the tears did shower

[00:02:46] She laid her head upon his breast

[00:02:53] Around his neck her arms entwined then

[00:02:59] "No duke nor earl nor lord I'll wed

[00:03:06] I'll wait for you my own Matt Hyland"

[00:03:39] "How can I go away my love

[00:03:46] How can I go without my wages

[00:03:53] Without one penny of my own

[00:04:00] Just like some low and lonesome vagrant "

[00:04:07] "Here's twenty guineas in bright gold

[00:04:13] That's far much more than Father owes you

[00:04:19] Take it love and go away

[00:04:26] You know right well I do adore you"

[00:04:36] The lord conversed with his daughter fair

[00:04:43] One night above in her bed chamber

[00:04:49] Saying

[00:04:50] "I'll give you leave for to bring him back

[00:04:57] Since there's no one can win your favor"

[00:05:03] She wrote a letter in great haste

[00:05:10] For him her heart was still repining

[00:05:17] They brought him back

[00:05:20] To the church they went

[00:05:23] And made a lord of young Matt Hyland
