Sylvie |
| As Sylvie was walking down by the riverside |
| As Sylvie was walking down by the riverside |
| And looking so sadly |
| looking so sadly |
| looking so sadly |
| All upon the swift tide |
| She thought on her lover that left her in pride |
| She thought on her lover that left her in pride |
| On the banks of the meadow |
| On the banks of the meadow |
| On the banks of the meadow |
| She sat down and cried |
| And as she sat weeping a young man came by |
| And as she sat weeping a young man came by |
| What ails you my jewel |
| What ails you my jewel |
| What ails you my jewel |
| And makes you to cry |
| Well I once had a sweetheart and now I have none |
| I once had a sweetheart and now I have none |
| He’s gone and leave me |
| Gone and leave me |
| Gone and leave me |
| In sorrow to mourn |
| Last night in sweet slumber I dreamed that I did see |
| Last night in sweet slumber I dreamed that I did see |
| Mine own dearest true love |
| Mine own dearest true love |
| Mine own dearest true love |
| Come smiling to me |
| But when I awokened I found it not so |
| But when I awokened I found it not so |
| Mine eyes were like fountains |
| Mine eyes were like fountains |
| Mine eyes were like fountains |
| Where the waters do flow |
| I’ll set sail of silver and steer towards the sun |
| I’ll set sail of silver and steer towards the sun |
| And my false love will weep |
| My false love will weep |
| My false love will weep |
| For me after I’m gone. |
