Banks Of The Nile - Sandy Denny[00:00:00]

Oh hark the drums do beat [00:00:25]

My love no longer can we stay [00:00:31]

The bugle-horns are sounding clear [00:00:42]

And we must march away [00:00:49]

Were ordered down to portsmouth [00:00:58]

And its many is the weary mile [00:01:05]

To join the british army on the banks of the nile [00:01:14]

Oh willie dearest willie [00:01:34]

Dont leave me here to mourn [00:01:43]

Dont make me curse and rue the day that ever I was born [00:01:50]

For the parting of our love would be like parting with my life [00:02:07]

So stay at home [00:02:22]

My dearest love [00:02:25]

And I will be your wife [00:02:30]

Oh my nancy dearest nancy [00:02:49]

Sure that will never do [00:02:59]

The government has ordered [00:03:06]

And we are bound to go [00:03:13]

The government has ordered [00:03:22]

And the queen she gives command [00:03:30]

And I am bound on oath my love [00:03:36]

To serve in a foreign land [00:03:46]

Oh but Ill cut off my yellow hair [00:03:56]

And Ill go along with you [00:04:06]

Ill dress myself in uniform [00:04:14]

And Ill see egypt too [00:04:21]

Ill march beneath your banner while fortune it do smile [00:04:29]

And well comfort one another[00:04:43]

On the banks of the nile [00:04:53]

But your waist it is too slender [00:05:12]

And your fingers they are too small [00:05:21]

In the sultry suns of egypt your rosy cheeks would spoil [00:05:29]

Where the cannons they do rattle [00:05:44]

When the bullets they do fly [00:05:52]

And the silver trumpets sound[00:05:59]

So loud to hide the dismal cries [00:06:08]

Oh cursed be those cruel wars [00:06:18]

That ever they began [00:06:27]

For they have robbed our country[00:06:35]

Of manys the handsome men [00:06:42]

Theyve robbed us of our sweethearts[00:06:51]

While their bodies they feed the lions [00:06:58]

On the dry and sandy deserts[00:07:04]

Which are the banks of the nile[00:07:14]
