the melrose quartet - just as the tide was flowing كلمات أغنية

1.one morning in the month of may
down by a rolling river
oh, a jolly sailor, i did stray
and i beheld some lover
she carelessly along did stray
a_viewing of the daisies gay;
and she sweetly sang a roundelay
just as the tide was a_flowing

2.oh, her dress it was as white as milk
and jewels did adorn her
and her shoes were of the crimson silk
just like some maid of honour
her cheeks were red, her eyes were brown
her hair in ringlets hanging down;
she’d a lovely brow without a frown
just as the tide was a_flowing

3.i made a bow and said, “fair maid
how came you here so early?
my heart by you it is betray’d
and i could love you dearly
i am a sailor come from sea
will you accept my company
to walk and view the fishes play
just as the tide is a_flowing?”
4.and no more we said, but on our way
we walked along together;
and the small birds sang and the lambs did play
and pleasant was the weather
when we were weary we sat down
beneath a tree with the branches round;
and what was done shall ne’er be found
as long as the tide is a_flowing

5.and as she lay there on the grass
her colour it was a_changing
and she cried out and said, “alas
never let your mind be ranging
here’s twenty pounds i have in store
well use it, when you will there’s more
oh the jolly sailor i adore
just as the tide is a_flowing.”

6.we both shook hands and off did steer
jack tar drinks rum and a brandy
and to keep his shipmates in good cheer
the lady’s gold is a_handy
so along with another pretty maid i’ll go
to a public house where the beer do flow
success to the maid that will do so
just as the tide is a_flowing.”
