paul clayton – the bailiff’s daughter of islington كلمات اغاني
[verse 1]
there was a youth and a well_beloved youth
and he was the squire’s son
and he loved the bailiff’s daughter dear
that lived in islington
[verse 2]
yet she was coy and would not believe
that he did love her so
nor at any time would she to him
any countenance show
[verse 3]
but when his friends did understand
his fond and his foolish mind
they sent him up to fair london town
an apprentice for to bind
[verse 4]
and when he had been for seven long years
and never his love did see
oh, many a tear havе i shed for her sake
whilе she little thought of me
[verse 5]
then all the maids in islington
went forth to sport and play
all but the bailiff’s daughter dear
who silently stole away
[verse 6]
then she took off her silk and gown
and she put on her ragged attire
and she rode away to fair london town
her sweetheart to inquire
[verse 7]
and there she went along the highroad
the weather being hot and dry
she sat upon the little green bank
and her true love came riding by
[verse 8]
she started up with a colour so red
catching hold of his bridle and reign
“oh one penny, one penny, kind sir,” she said
“would ease me of much pain”
[verse 9]
“before i give you a penny, sweetheart
pray tell me where were you born?”
“at islington, kind sir,” she said
“where i have had many a scorn”
[verse 10]
“oh then, do maiden, tell to me
oh, tell me whether you know
the bailiff’s daughter of islington?”
“she is dead, sir, long ago”
[verse 11]
“if she be dead, then take my horse
my saddle and bridle also
for i will go to some far country
where no man should there me know”
[verse 12]
“o stay, o stay, thou goodly youth!
she standeth by thy side
she is here alive, she is not dead
and ready to be thy bride”
[verse 13]
“oh, farewell grief and welcome joy
ten thousand times therefore
for now, i have found my own true love
whom i thought i should never see more”
