Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作曲 : i am a youth that's inclined to ramble
[00:13.00] i am a youth that's inclined to ramble,
[00:20.06] to some foreign country i mean to steer,
[00:27.62] i am loath to part from my friends and comrades,
[00:34.87] and my dear sweet heart, whom i loved dear.
[00:42.02] but there's one of those i do most admire,
[00:49.56] one her i'll think when i am far away,
[00:56.36] for since fates decreed i am resolved to part her,
[01:03.51] and try my fortune in america
[01:10.76] so farewell darling i must leave you,
[01:18.03] i place great dependence on your constancy,
[01:25.06] that no other young man may gain your favor,
[01:32.49] or change your mind when i am over the sea.
[01:39.36] for although the seas do separate us,
[01:46.87] and in between us they do rise and fall,
[01:53.75] if fortune favors me you'll find your jamie,
[02:00.84] returning homeward from america.
[02:19.29] oh jamie dear do you remember,
[02:28.19] when i sat with you for many the hour,
[02:33.08] and my young fancy away was carried,
[02:39.84] and the bees hummed around on each opening flower,
[02:47.05] but when you're crossing the western ocean.
[02:54.47] the maid that loved you, you'll never mind aver,
[03:01.35] and you'll scarce ever think upon the maids of erin,
[03:08.64] for you'll find strange sweethearts in america.
[03:40.88] oh mary dear, i don't dissemble,
[03:47.42] for to all other fair maids i'll prove untrue,
[03:54.81] and if you think that these are false promise,
[04:01.80] i'll leave these vows as a pledge to you.
[04:08.93] that what i have may prove unsuccessful,
[04:16.19] and fortune prove to me a slippery ball,
[04:23.53] that a favoring gale it may nerve blow on me,
[04:30.74] if forsake you in america.
[04:37.75] and to conclude and to end these verses,
[04:44.84] may god protect this young female fair,
[04:52.16] and keep her from every wild embarrassment,
[04:59.29] and of my darling take the greatest care.
[05:06.36] for she's slow to anger and of kind disposition,
[05:13.91] and her cheeks like roses in june do blow,
[05:20.63] in my nightly slumbers when ever i think on her,
[05:27.85] i could court her vision in america.
[00:00.05]
