《A Sailor’s Life(Version Without Swarb)》歌词

[00:00:00] A Sailors Life (一个水手的生活) (Version Without Swarb) - Fairport Convention (公平港口大会)

[00:00:25] A sailor's life it is a merry life

[00:00:39] He robs young girls of their heart's delight

[00:00:52] Leaving them behind to weep and mourn

[00:01:06] They never know when they will return

[00:01:25] Well there's four and twenty all in a row

[00:01:35] My true love he makes the finest show

[00:01:50] He's proper tall genteel withal

[00:02:02] And if I don't have him I'll have none at all

[00:02:23] Oh father my deer father build for me a bonny boat

[00:02:34] That on the wide ocean I may float

[00:02:47] And every Queen's ship that I pass by

[00:02:58] There I'll inquire for my sailor boy

[00:03:56] They had not sailed long upon the deep

[00:04:09] When a Queen's ship they chanced to meet

[00:04:26] You sailors all pray tell me true

[00:04:38] Does my sweet William sail among your crew

[00:04:52] Oh no fair maiden he is not here

[00:05:05] For he's been drownded we greatly fear

[00:05:20] On yon green island as we passed it by

[00:05:33] There we lost sight of your sailing boy

[00:05:45] Well she rung her hands and she tore her hair

[00:05:58] She was like a young male in great despair

[00:06:14] And her little boat against a rock did run

[00:06:26] How can I live now my sweet William is gone
