《If I Were a Blackbird》歌词

[00:00:00] If I Were a Blackbird - Geraldine Sexton

[00:00:00] Written by：Delia Murphy

[00:00:07] If I was a blackbird I'd whistle and sing

[00:00:14] And I'd follow the ship that my true love sails in

[00:00:21] And on the top riggings I'd there build my nest

[00:00:28] And I'd pillow my head on his lily white breast

[00:00:37] I am a young maiden and my story is sad

[00:00:45] For once I was courted by a brave sailor lad

[00:00:52] He courted me strongly by night and by day

[00:00:59] But now my dear sailor is gone far away

[00:01:08] I sailed over the ocean his fortune to seek

[00:01:15] I missed his caress and his kiss on my cheek

[00:01:22] He courted my truly his friendship was warm

[00:01:29] And I long for the sight of his brave manly form

[00:01:38] If I were a blackbird I'd whistle and sing

[00:01:45] I'd follow the ship that my true love sails in

[00:01:52] On the top rigging I'd there build my nest

[00:01:59] And I'd pillow my head on his lily-white breast

[00:02:08] He promised me to take me to Donnybrook Fair

[00:02:15] He'd buy me a red ribbon to tie up my hair

[00:02:22] And when he'd return from the ocean so wide

[00:02:29] He'd take me and make me his own loving bride

[00:02:38] His parents they slight me and will not agree

[00:02:46] That me and my sailor boy married should be

[00:02:53] But let them deprives me and do what they will

[00:03:00] While there's breath in my body he's the one that I love still

[00:03:09] If I was a blackbird I whistle and sing

[00:03:16] And I follow the vessel my true love sails in

[00:03:23] And on the top rigging I would there build my nest

[00:03:30] And I'd pillow my head on his lily-white breast

[00:03:39] If I was a blackbird I'd whistle and sing

[00:03:46] And I'd follow the ship that my true love sails in

[00:03:53] And on the top riggings I'd there build my nest
