martin simpson, emily portman - fair annie كلمات أغنية

“adieu, adieu,” fair annie did say
“for twelve months and a day
you’re to welcome my brisk young bride
that i bring over the main.”

it’s twelve months they’ve been rolling around;
fair annie thought the time wore long
she took the spyglass into her hands
and out of the doors she’s gone

she looked to the east, west, north and south
she looked all under the sun
she thought she saw lord thomas a_coming
bringing his new bride home

she called unto her own seven sons:
“your father brings your stepmother home.”

“come down, come down, dear mother,” they did say
“some clothing to put on.”

saying, “all love is merry—merry, merry—
maids might as well come as one.”

she dressed her bonnie boys in black
as had been the simple green
a comb of gold upon her hair
as a maiden she once had been
she served them all the livelong day;
the rest of them drank ale, beer and wine
but annie, she drank the cold well water
to keep her spirits alive

fair annie, she had a silken towel
hanging on a silver pin
and she wiped out her watery eyes
as she walked out and in

“i wish my sons were seven greyhounds
and i were a fox on the hill
that they might have more breath than i
that they might worry me down.”

“come down, come down,” says the new_come bride
“come down the stairs,” says she
“tell me the name of your father, dear
and i’ll tell mine to thee.”

“king henry, he’s my own father, dear
queen chantry, she’s my mother
mary, she’s my own sister, dear
douglos, he’s my brother.”

“king henry, he’s your own father, dear
queen chantry, she’s your mother
i’ll ensure i am your own sister, dear—
prince douglas, he’s our brother.”
with seven ships all out on the sea
he loaded to the brim
five of them i’ll give unto you
and two will carry me home

five of them i’ll give unto you—
will have lord thomas burn
