《The Labouring Man’s Daughter》歌词

所属专辑：Songlines

时长： 05:01

A nobleman's son he dreamed such a dream[00:00:00]

Of the beautifulest girl in the nation[00:00:11]

No counsel would he take but journeys he'd make[00:00:20]

Through Ireland to seek this fair creature[00:00:30]

'Twas seven long years he searched here and there[00:00:41]

'til he came to the place where he'd meet her[00:00:51]

He opened the door and she stood on the floor[00:01:00]

She was a laboring man's daughter[00:01:10]

I never have seen you but once in my life[00:01:20]

And that was in a dream you lay by me[00:01:29]

And now you're beside me by the look in your eyes[00:01:38]

I know that you ne'er will deny me[00:01:47]

And what's your desire pray tell me kind sir[00:01:57]

That you're so afraid of denial[00:02:06]

Although I am poor no scorn will I endure[00:02:15]

Do not put me under such trial[00:02:24]

No scorn will I bring nor any such thing[00:02:32]

And he took out a ring as a token[00:02:42]

Oh love is a thing which does hang on a string[00:02:50]

But between us it ne'er will be broken[00:03:00]

And if I should consent your bride for to be[00:03:10]

Your parents would both be offended[00:03:19]

Besides they would always be frowning on me[00:03:27]

Because you are highly descended[00:03:37]

For father and for mother I have none in this world[00:03:45]

I have none but myself and a brother[00:03:55]

And as for my friends they will not frown on me[00:04:04]

So we can but love one another[00:04:14]

So now they has gained what love and delight[00:04:22]

And they are living in joy and plenty[00:04:31]

The laboring man's daughter has married a knight[00:04:39]

Heaven protect them both together[00:04:51]
