lirik lagu frank harte - in london so fair
[verse 1]
in london so fair a rich lady she lived there
a lady of great beauty and great might
and unto this lady fair i became a servant there
and in me she took a great delight
[verse 2]
this lady had a son to wealth and beauty born
and he became a sailor on the sea
and he courted this maiden fair till he did her heart ensnare
and then he was bound out for the sea
[verse 3]
she came to him one day in his cabin where he lay
and the tеars from her eyes thеy down did flow
saying, “young man you’e going away far far from me to stray
and to leave me on the shore all for to mourn.”
[verse 4]
“oh no, no”, says he, “such a thing could never be
for as long as i’m a sailor on the sea
oh the ship that i command it might never reach the land
if ever i prove false, love, unto thee.”
[verse 5]
as he spoke these words she knew, that the ship with its full crew
was waiting to set sail out from the quay
and she then made up her mind
no more she’d stay behind but along with him would sail across the sea
[verse 6]
she cut off her yellow hair that hung down her back so fair
for fear that anybody would her know
and dressed like a youn seaman, to the ship ’twas then she ran
and straight way to the captian she did go
[verse 7]
she being so neat and trim complete in every limb
and her clothes they fitted tightly to her knee
while the crew did on her gaze the captain to her says
“young man now were you ever on the sea?”
[verse 8]
“oh no no”, says she, “i was never on the sea
but ship me as a young sailor bold, for its now i mean to go
where the stormy winds do blow
to gather up some silver and some gold.”
[verse 9]
as he gazed on her one day, from his cabin where he lay
her features unto him they seemed well known
he says, “you’re like a lover of mine, i think on many’s the time
that i left all on the shore now for to mourn.”
[verse 10]
“oh no, no”, says she, “such a thing could never be
for as long as you’re a sailor on the sea
ah the ship that you command it might never reach the land
if ever you prove false, love, unto me.”
[verse 11]
his own words he knew that she spoke far from the crew
and into her arms flew just like a dove
he says, “do not shed a tear you have followed me my dear
and it’s now we will get married for true love.”
[verse 12]
they called for a clerk, they called for a mate
they called for a clergyman likewise
and ’twas then they both did wed, and together they do bed
and it’s now they’re living happy on the tide
