kate rusby & kathryn roberts - the constant lovers lyrics

[verse 1]
a sailor courted a farmer’s daughter
that lived convenient to the isle of man
and mark good people what followed after
a long time courting and nothing done
a long time courting but still discoursing
of things concerning the ocean wide
he said, “my darling, at our next meeting
if you’ll be constant, i’ll make you my bride”

[verse 2]
“as for sailors, i don’t admire them
because they sails in so many parts
first they love you and then they slight you
and leave you behind with a broken heart”
“don’t say so, my dearest jewel
i nеver intended to sеrve you so
i have once more to cross the ocean
you know, my darling, that i must go”

[verse 3]
the news was carried unto his mother
before he set one foot on board
that he was courting a farmer’s daughter
whose aged parents could not afford
one penny portion, down to the ocean
like one distracted his mother ran
“if you don’t forsake her, your bride not make her
i will disown you to be my son”
[verse 4]
“mother, mother, you’re in a passion
i’m sorry you have spoke too late
don’t you remember in your first beginning
my father married you from a servant maid?
don’t you despise her, i mean to rise her
as my own father to you has done
and i will take her, my bride i’ll make her
you may disown me to be your son”

[verse 5]
when his true love she heard the story
straight to the ocean then she did run
saying in a passion, “you need not mind her
we shall have money when they have none”
“money or not, you are my lot
you have my heart and my free good will
and i will take you, my bride i’ll make you
let my scolding mother say what she will”

[verse 6]
the sailor married his farmer’s daughter
they live contented in the isle of man
and mark good people what followed after
a long time courting and all was done
a long time courting and still discoursing
of things concerning the ocean wide
he said, “my darling, my dearest jewel
i love you dearly, my constant bride”
[outro]
constant bride, constant bride
my constant bride
