歌曲歌詞
As I roved out one evening fair
It bein' the summertime to take the air
I spied a sailor and a lady gay
And I stood to listen
And I stood to listen to hear
What they would say
He said "Fair lady why do you roam
For the day is spent and the night is on"
She heaved a sigh while the tears did roll
"For my dark-eyed sailor
For my dark-eyed sailor
So young and stout and bold "
"Tis seven long years
Since he left this land
A ring he took from
Off his lily-white hand
One half of the ring is
Still here with me
But the other's rollin'
But the other's rollin'
At the bottom of the sea "
He said "You may drive him
Out of your mind
Some other young man you will surely find
Love turns aside and soon cold has grown
Like the winter's morning
Like the winter's morning
The hills are white with snow "
She said "I'll never forsake my dear
Although we're parted this many a year
Genteel he was and a rake like you
To induce a maiden
To induce a maiden to
Slight the jacket blue "
One half of the ring did young William show
She ran distracted in grief and woe
Sayin' "William William I have gold in store
For my dark-eyed sailor
For my dark-eyed sailor
Has proved his honour long"
And there is a cottage by yonder lea
This couple's married and does agree
So maids be loyal when your love's at sea
For a cloudy morning
For a cloudy morning brings in a sunny day
