《Maid of the Sweet Brown Knowe(2003 Remaster)》歌词

[00:00:01] Maid Of The Sweet Brown Knowe - The Dubliners

[00:00:06] Come all you lads and lassies

[00:00:09] And listen to me a while

[00:00:11] I'll sing to you a verse or two

[00:00:13] That will surely make you smile

[00:00:15] Concerning a young man I'm going to tell you now

[00:00:19] Who has lately come a-courting

[00:00:21] The maid of the sweet brow nknowe

[00:00:24] This young man says:

[00:00:25] 'My pretty maid will ye come along with me

[00:00:28] We'll both fly off together

[00:00:29] And happy we will be

[00:00:31] We'll join our hands in wedlock bands

[00:00:34] As I am speaking with you now

[00:00:36] And I'll do my best endeavour for

[00:00:38] The maid of the sweet brown knowe'

[00:00:44] This fair and fickle young thing

[00:00:47] She knew not what to say

[00:00:49] Her eyes did shine like diamonds bright

[00:00:51] And merrily did play

[00:00:53] She says: 'Young man your love subdued

[00:00:54] For I'm not ready now

[00:00:57] And I'll spend another season

[00:00:58] At the foot of the sweet brown knowe'

[00:01:01] The young man said: 'My pretty maid

[00:01:04] How can you answer so

[00:01:06] See down in yonder valley

[00:01:07] Where my crops do gently grow

[00:01:10] Down in yonder valley

[00:01:11] I have horses men and plough

[00:01:14] And they're at their daily labour

[00:01:15] For the maid of the sweet brown knowe'

[00:01:18] 'If they're at their daily labour

[00:01:23] Kind Sir it's not for me

[00:01:26] I've heard of your behaviour

[00:01:28] I have indeed' said she

[00:01:30] 'There is an inn where you call in

[00:01:33] I've heard the people say

[00:01:35] And you rap and you call and you pay for all

[00:01:37] And go home at the break of day'

[00:01:38] 'If I rap and call and I pay for all

[00:01:40] The money is all my own

[00:01:41] I will never spend your fortune

[00:01:43] For I hear that you've got none

[00:01:45] You've thought you had my poor heart broken

[00:01:48] By meeting with ye now

[00:01:50] But I leave you where I found you

[00:01:52] At the foot of the sweet brown knowe'
