Sweet England - Shirley Collins[00:00:00]
Written by:Traditional[00:00:01]
As I was a walking one morning in spring[00:00:14]
To see the green fields and the gully birds sing[00:00:21]
I maiden on lady a making a moan[00:00:27]
Oh alas I'm a stranger and a long way from home[00:00:33]
I came from sweet England with mother and dad[00:00:49]
We thought in America all might be had[00:00:55]
Of gold and of silver and acres galore[00:01:01]
And never meet hunger and poverty more[00:01:08]
But alas for sweet England my father is dead[00:01:20]
And mother can learn but little for bread[00:01:26]
And I wip as I gaze o'er the far distant[00:01:32]
Main[00:01:36]
For a fine ship to take me to England again[00:01:38]
I even aunt in the country she lives all alone[00:01:54]
She'd welcome and love me as I were one[00:02:00]
I'd nurse her in sickness and tend her and pain[00:02:06]
And thank God I was back in sweet England again[00:02:12]
And this so to be back in sweet England again[00:02:18]
