《Sweet England》歌词

[00:00:00] Sweet England - Shirley Collins

[00:00:01] Written by：Traditional

[00:00:14] As I was a walking one morning in spring

[00:00:21] To see the green fields and the gully birds sing

[00:00:27] I maiden on lady a making a moan

[00:00:33] Oh alas I'm a stranger and a long way from home

[00:00:49] I came from sweet England with mother and dad

[00:00:55] We thought in America all might be had

[00:01:01] Of gold and of silver and acres galore

[00:01:08] And never meet hunger and poverty more

[00:01:20] But alas for sweet England my father is dead

[00:01:26] And mother can learn but little for bread

[00:01:32] And I wip as I gaze o'er the far distant

[00:01:36] Main

[00:01:38] For a fine ship to take me to England again

[00:01:54] I even aunt in the country she lives all alone

[00:02:00] She'd welcome and love me as I were one

[00:02:06] I'd nurse her in sickness and tend her and pain

[00:02:12] And thank God I was back in sweet England again

[00:02:18] And this so to be back in sweet England again
