jean ritchie - one morning in may (version 2) (1952) lyrics

Loading...

one morning, one morning, one morning in may
i spied a fair couple inquirin’ their way
they stood and concluded to go by the spring
to see the waters a+gliding, hear the nightingales sing

he hugged her, and he kissed her, and he caught her around the middle
and out of his knapsack he drew a fine fiddle
and he played her a tune of the voluntary
oh, see the waters a+gliding, hear the nightingales sing

pretty soldier, pretty soldier, won’t you marry mе?
oh no, pretty lady, that never can bе
for i’ve got a wife at home, and children are three
and the prettiest little baby that you ever did see

i’ll go to kentucky and stay there for a year
instead of cold water, my drink shall be beer
and when i come back it’ll be in the spring
and i’ll play that tune over and over again
to see the waters a+gliding, hear the nightingales sing
