allison crowe – tarry trousers lyrics
[verse 1]
as i roved out one fine summer’s ev’ning
to view those flow’rs and to take the air
‘t’was there i spied a tender mother
talking to her daughter dear
[verse 2]
singing, “daughter, o daughter, i’ll have you to marry
no longer to live a sweet single, life”
“o mother, o mother, i ‘d rather to tarry
to be some brave young sailor’s wife”
[verse 3]
“a sailor shy sits all for to wander
to some foreign count’r’y he’d go
they will cause you to sigh and to murmur
they will prove your overthrow”
[verse 4]
“or, if you could get me to wed with a farmer
to be your joy and heart’s delight
but give me the boy with the tarry, tarry trousers
to shine in my eyes like a diamond bright”
[verse 5]
she hung her head on the top of her shoulders
tears from her eyes like a fountain flowed
“i’ll stay at home and be true-hearted
whilst my love to the sea doth go”
[verse 6]
“hark, o hark, how the great guns are rattling
big and small, they all make noise
my true love’s in the field of battle
so fight on, my gallant boys”
