jim moray - the nightingale lyrics
my love was a rich farmer’s son
when first my own tender heart he won
his love for me he did reveal
but it’s little i thought of the nightingale
his parents then did not agree
that he should love a boy like me
a press gang sent and they did not fail
they press my love on the nightingale
the fourteenth day of november last
the wind it blew a most bitter blast
the storm did rage and the main mast failed
to the bottom he went with thе nightingale
the very day my lovе was lost
he appeared to me as a dismal ghost
feathered wings to tell the tale
and sing the song of the nightingale
he says, “my love don’t be surprised
in the bay of biscay, my body lies
i’ve become the prey for some shark or whale
that was my fate on the nightingale”
i raised my head from my pillow high
and this dismal ghost from me did fly
i never thought my love would sail
and end his days on the nightingale
my father’s dwelling i’ll forsake
to some lonesome valley myself will take
in shady groves then i’ll bewail
and hear the song of the nightingale
