A Forsaking - Our Captain Cried |
Our captain cried all hands, away tomorrow |
Leaving us girls behind in grief and sorrow |
«What makes you go abroad, fighting for strangers |
When you could stay at home, and free from dangers?» |
«I'd roll you in my arms, my dearest jewel |
So stay at home with me and don’t be cruel» |
She fell up on the floor like one that was dying; |
This house was filled with grief, sighing and crying |
«You courted me a while just to deceive me |
Now that you’ve gained my heart you mean to leave me |
For there’s no trust in men, not my own brother |
So girls if you would love, love one each other» |
«The drums are beating loud, the pipes are playing |
I must be on my way, no longer staying |
Dry off those brandy tears and leave off weeping |
And happy we shall be at our next meeting» |
