Two Constant Lovers |
Now as I was a-walking down by the sea shore |
Where the wind it did whistle and the waves they did roar |
There I heard a fair maid make a terrible sound |
Like the wind and the waves that did echo around |
Ch: Crying «Ohh. |
my love is gone |
He’s the youth I adore |
And he’s drowned |
And I never shall see him no more» |
She’d a voice like a nightingale, skin like a dove |
And the song that she sang it was all about love |
When I asked her to marry me, marry me please |
But the answer she gave: «My love’s drowned in the seas» |
I said I had gold and I’d silver beside |
On a coach and six horses with me she could ride |
She said: «I'll not marry nor yet prove a wife |
I’ll be constant and true all the days I have life» |
Then she flung her arms wide and she took a great leap |
From the cliffs that were high to the billows so deep |
Saying: «The rocks of the ocean shall be my death bed |
And the shrimps of the sea shall swim over my head» |
And now every night at six bells they appear |
When the moon is shining and the stars they are clear |
These two constant lovers with each other’s charms |
Rolling over and over in each other’s arms |
