A Sailors Life (一个水手的生活) (Version Without Swarb) - Fairport Convention (公平港口大会)[00:00:00]
A sailor's life it is a merry life[00:00:25]
He robs young girls of their heart's delight[00:00:39]
Leaving them behind to weep and mourn[00:00:52]
They never know when they will return[00:01:06]
Well there's four and twenty all in a row[00:01:25]
My true love he makes the finest show[00:01:35]
He's proper tall genteel withal[00:01:50]
And if I don't have him I'll have none at all[00:02:02]
Oh father my deer father build for me a bonny boat[00:02:23]
That on the wide ocean I may float[00:02:34]
And every Queen's ship that I pass by[00:02:47]
There I'll inquire for my sailor boy[00:02:58]
They had not sailed long upon the deep[00:03:56]
When a Queen's ship they chanced to meet[00:04:09]
You sailors all pray tell me true[00:04:26]
Does my sweet William sail among your crew[00:04:38]
Oh no fair maiden he is not here[00:04:52]
For he's been drownded we greatly fear[00:05:05]
On yon green island as we passed it by[00:05:20]
There we lost sight of your sailing boy[00:05:33]
Well she rung her hands and she tore her hair[00:05:45]
She was like a young male in great despair[00:05:58]
And her little boat against a rock did run[00:06:14]
How can I live now my sweet William is gone[00:06:26]
