the nightingale - clifford shaw lyrics

Loading...

one mornin’, one mornin’, one mornin’ in may
oh, i saw a fair couple a*makin’ their way
and one was a lady
a lady so fair
the other a soldier
a brave volunteer

“good mornin’, good mornin’, good mornin’ to thee
oh, where are you goin’, my pretty lady?”
“oh, i am a*goin’ to the banks of the sea
to see waters glidin’
hear the nightingale sing.”

they hadn’t been standin’
a minute or two
when out of his knapsack
a fiddle he drew
and the tune that he played
made the violin ring
made the waters go glidin’
made the nightingale sing

“brave soldier, kind soldier
will you marry me?”
“oh, no, pretty lady,”
“that never could be
i’ve a true love in london
who’s waitin’ for me
two loves in the army’s
too many for me
“i’ll go back to london
and stay there a year
and often i’ll dream of you
my little dear
and if ‘ere i returned
will be in the spring
to see waters glidin’
hear the nightingale sing.”
