fountains flowing - june tabor & oysterband lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
our captain called all hands, we sail tomorrow
leaving these poor girls behind in grief and sorrow
dry off your briny tears and cease your weeping
it’s happy we shall be at our next meeting

[verse 2]
i’ll roll you in my arms, my dearest jewel
so stay at home with me and don’t be cruel
what makes you go abroad fighting for strangers
when you could stay at home free from all dangers?

[verse 3]
when i had gold in store you did invite me
but now i’m low and poor you mean to slight me
she fell down on the floor like one that was dying
this house was filled with grief, crying and sighing

[instrumental break]

[verse 4]
you courted me a whilе just to deceive mе
but now my heart you’ve won you mean to leave me
i’ll put no trust in men, not in my own brother
so maids if you would love, love one another
[verse 5]
farewell my dearest friends, father and mother
i am your only child, i have no brother
it’s vain to weep for me for i am going
to everlasting joy and fountains flowing
