W: % W: W:1 W:It was pleasant and delightful on a bright summer's morn, W:When the fields and the meadows were covered in corn, W:There were blackbirds and thrushes singing on every tree, W:And the larks they sang melodious at the dawning of the day, W:And the larks they sang melodious, and the larks they sang melodious, W:And the larks they sang melodious at the dawning of the day. W: W:A sailor and his true love were walking one day. W:Said the sailor to his true love, "I'm bound far away. W:I'm bound for the West Indies where the loud cannons roar, W:I am bound to leave my Nancy, she's the girl that I adore, W:I am bound to leave my Nancy, I am bound to leave my Nancy, W:I am bound to leave my Nancy, she's the girl that I adore. W: W:A ring from off her finger she instantly drew, W:Saying, "Take this, my dearest Willie, and my heart will go too." W:And as he stood embracing her from her eyes the tears fell, W:Saying, "May I go along with you?" "Oh no, my love, farewell." W:Saying, "May I go along with you?" Saying, "May I go along with you?" W:Saying, "May I go along with you?" "Oh no, my love, farewell." W: W:"So fare thee well Nancy, now I must away, W:For the topsail is hoisted and the anchor is weighed, W:And the ship she lies waiting for the next flowing tide, W:And if ever I return again, I will make you my bride, W:And if ever I return again, and if ever I return again, W:And if ever I return again, I will make you my bride."
