《The Labouring Man’s Daughter》歌词

[00:00:00] A nobleman's son he dreamed such a dream

[00:00:11] Of the beautifulest girl in the nation

[00:00:20] No counsel would he take but journeys he'd make

[00:00:30] Through Ireland to seek this fair creature

[00:00:41] 'Twas seven long years he searched here and there

[00:00:51] 'til he came to the place where he'd meet her

[00:01:00] He opened the door and she stood on the floor

[00:01:10] She was a laboring man's daughter

[00:01:20] I never have seen you but once in my life

[00:01:29] And that was in a dream you lay by me

[00:01:38] And now you're beside me by the look in your eyes

[00:01:47] I know that you ne'er will deny me

[00:01:57] And what's your desire pray tell me kind sir

[00:02:06] That you're so afraid of denial

[00:02:15] Although I am poor no scorn will I endure

[00:02:24] Do not put me under such trial

[00:02:32] No scorn will I bring nor any such thing

[00:02:42] And he took out a ring as a token

[00:02:50] Oh love is a thing which does hang on a string

[00:03:00] But between us it ne'er will be broken

[00:03:10] And if I should consent your bride for to be

[00:03:19] Your parents would both be offended

[00:03:27] Besides they would always be frowning on me

[00:03:37] Because you are highly descended

[00:03:45] For father and for mother I have none in this world

[00:03:55] I have none but myself and a brother

[00:04:04] And as for my friends they will not frown on me

[00:04:14] So we can but love one another

[00:04:22] So now they has gained what love and delight

[00:04:31] And they are living in joy and plenty

[00:04:39] The laboring man's daughter has married a knight

[00:04:51] Heaven protect them both together
