《The Green Bushes》歌词

[00:00:00] The Green Bushes - Willie Brady

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

[00:00:12] To hear the birds whistle and the nightingales sing

[00:00:17] I saw a young maiden so sweetly sang she

[00:00:22] Down by the Green Bushes where she chanced to meet me

[00:00:33] "Oh why are you loitering here pretty maid "

[00:00:37] "I am waiting for my true love " softly she said

[00:00:42] "Will I be your true love and will you agree

[00:00:47] Oh to leave your true love and follow with me

[00:00:56] "I will give you fine beavers and fine silken gowns

[00:01:01] I will give you fine petticoats flounced to the ground

[00:01:05] I will give you fine jewels and live but for thee

[00:01:10] If you'll leave your own true love and follow with me"

[00:01:19] "I want none of your beavers or fine silken hose

[00:01:23] For I'm not so poor as to marry for clothes

[00:01:28] But if you be constant and true unto me

[00:01:32] I'll leave my own true love and follow with thee"

[00:01:41] "Come let us be going kind sir if you please

[00:01:45] Let us be going from under these trees

[00:01:49] Yonder my true love coming I see

[00:01:53] Down by the green bushes where he haunted to meet me"

[00:02:02] And when he came there and he found you were gone

[00:02:07] He looked very foolish and cried quite forlorn

[00:02:12] "She's gone with a lover and forsaken me

[00:02:18] And left the green bushes where she vowed to meet me"
