june tabor & oysterband - dark eyed sailor lyrics

[verse 1]
as i roved out one evening fair
it being the summertime to take the air
i spied a sailor and a lady g+y
and i stood to listen
and i stood to listen to hear what they did say

[verse 2]
he said fair lady, and why do you roam?
for day is spent and the night is on
she heaved a sigh while the tears did roll
for my dark+eyed sailor
for my dark+eyed sailor, so young, so stout and bold

[verse 3]
seven long years since he left this land
a ring he took from off his lily+white hand
one half the ring is still here with me
but the othеr’s rolling
but the other’s rolling at the bottom of thе sea

[verse 4]
he said you may drive him out of your mind
some other young man you will surely find
love turns aside and soon cold has grown
like the winter’s morning
like a winter’s morning, the hills all white with snow
[verse 5]
she said i’ll never forsake my dear
though we’ve been parted this many’s a year
genteel he was and a rake like you
to seduce a maiden
to seduce a maiden to slight the jacket blue

[verse 6]
one half of the ring did young william show
she ran distracted in grief and woe
saying william, william, i have gold in store
for my dark+eyed sailor
for my dark+eyed sailor has proved his overthrow

[verse 7]
there is a cottage by yonder lea
this couple’s married and does agree
so its maids be loyal while your love’s at sea
for a cloudy morning
for a cloudy morning brings in a sunny day
