《The Grazier’s Daughter》歌词

[00:00:00] The Grazier's Daughter - June Tabor

[00:00:01] Oh the grazier's daughter living near

[00:00:07] A fair young damsel as you shall hear

[00:00:13] It's up to London she did go

[00:00:19] To seek for service as you shall know

[00:00:26] Her master having but one son

[00:00:32] Oh she bein' fair his heart she won

[00:00:38] Young Betsy bein' so very fair

[00:00:43] She brought his heart into a snare

[00:00:49] One sunday evening he stole her thyme

[00:00:55] And unto Betsy told his mind

[00:01:01] Myown swearing bower's above

[00:01:06] 'Tis you fair Betsy 'tis you I love

[00:01:12] His mother then bein' standing nigh

[00:01:18] Hearing these words that her son did say

[00:01:24] Next morning by the break of day

[00:01:29] Unto fair Betsy she took away

[00:01:36] Sayin' Rise up rise up my fair Betsy

[00:01:43] And dress yourself most gallantly

[00:01:49] For 'tis to the country you must go

[00:01:53] All along with me for one day or two

[00:02:00] And as they were crossing o'er the plain

[00:02:05] They spied some ships sailing on the main

[00:02:11] No wit no wit this poor woman had

[00:02:16] But to sell poor Betsy to be a slave

[00:02:24] Then a few days after the mother returned

[00:02:30] And it's welcome mother replies the son

[00:02:36] But tell me tell me true I pray

[00:02:41] Oh where is Betsy behind you say

[00:02:48] Oh son oh son I plainly see

[00:02:54] The love you bear for poor Betsy

[00:02:59] But your sobbin' and sighin' are all in vain

[00:03:06] Young Betsy sailing across the main

[00:03:12] In a few days after the son lies sick

[00:03:18] No sort o' music his heart would take

[00:03:24] But he often sighed and he often cried

[00:03:31] Oh Betsy Betsy I shall die

[00:03:38] And in a few days after the son lies dead

[00:03:44] Mother wrings her hands and she tears her hair

[00:03:49] If I could bring back my son again

[00:03:55] I'd send poor Betsy across the main

[00:04:02] Oh the grazier's daughter living near

[00:04:09] A fair young damsel as you shall hear

[00:04:16] It's up to London she did go

[00:04:21] To seek for service as you shall know
