| [00:15.84] |
Jack Orion was the finest fiddler ever fiddled on the string |
| [00:28.41] |
He could drive young ladies wild with a tune his wires would sing |
| [00:44.55] |
He could fiddle the fish out of salt water |
| [00:54.12] |
Water from a marble stone |
| [00:59.16] |
Or milk from out a maiden's breast though baby she had none |
| [01:24.42] |
There he played in the castle hall and there he played them fast asleep |
| [01:39.69] |
Except it was for the young countess who |
| [01:48.06] |
For love |
| [01:54.99] |
She stayed awake |
| [01:56.01] |
So first he played her a slow air |
| [02:04.92] |
And then he played it brisk and gay |
| [02:07.74] |
And oh |
| [02:15.18] |
Dear love |
| [02:18.36] |
Behind her glove |
| [02:19.83] |
This lady she did say |
| [02:31.77] |
Ere the day has dawned and the cocks have crowed |
| [02:39.54] |
And flapped their wings so wide |
| [02:48.87] |
It's you must come to my chamber there |
| [03:17.88] |
And lie down by my side |
| [03:34.26] |
So he wrapped his fiddle in a cloth of green |
| [03:41.22] |
And he stole out on his a tip a toe |
| [03:48.42] |
And he's off back to his young boy |
| [03:54.12] |
Tom as fast as he could go |
| [03:56.82] |
Ere the day has dawned and the cocks have crowed |
| [04:11.37] |
And flapped their wings so wide |
| [04:15.96] |
I'm bid to go to the lady's door |
| [04:25.29] |
And stretch out by her side |
| [04:31.65] |
Lie down |
| [04:33.99] |
Lie down |
| [04:36.54] |
My good master |
| [04:41.55] |
Here's a blanket to your hand |
| [04:45.96] |
And I'll waken you in as good a time as any cock in this land |
| [04:52.11] |
Now Tom took the fiddle into his hand |
| [04:56.73] |
He fiddled and he played for a full hour |
| [05:12.27] |
Until he played him fast asleep |
| [05:18.63] |
He's off to the lady's bower |
| [05:24.48] |
And when he came to her chamber door |
| [05:52.62] |
He twirled softly at the pin |
| [06:16.77] |
The lady |
| [06:17.91] |
True to her promise |
| [06:28.05] |
Rose up and let him in |
| [06:46.80] |
He did not take that lady gay to bolster nor to bed |
| [07:13.41] |
But down upon the hard cold floor right soon he had her laid |
| [07:58.29] |
And he did not kiss her when he came nor yet |
| [08:04.77] |
But from her he did go |
| [08:08.64] |
But in out the lady's bedroom window |
| [08:15.06] |
The moon like a coal did glow |
| [08:23.97] |
Ragged are your stockings |
| [08:30.06] |
Love |
| [08:35.61] |
And stubbly is your cheek and chin |
| [08:43.79] |
And tousled is that yellow hair that I saw yestereve |
| [08:56.43] |
These stockings belong to my boy Tom |
| [08:59.94] |
They were the first came to my hand |
| [09:05.01] |
The wind must have tousled my yellow hair and I rode over the land |
| [09:17.13] |
Now Tom took the fiddle into his hand |
| [09:21.06] |
He fiddled and he played so saucily |
| [09:25.68] |
He's off back to his master's house as fast as go could he |
| [09:35.88] |
Wake up |
| [09:36.93] |
Wake up |
| [09:38.16] |
Oh my good master |
| [09:41.58] |
Why snore you there so loud |
| [09:45.81] |
There's not a cock in all this land |
| [09:51.54] |
But has clapped his wings and crowed |
| [09:57.00] |
Jack Orion took the fiddle into his hand |
| [10:00.84] |
And he fiddled and he played so merrily |
| [10:07.11] |
He's off away to the lady's house as fast as go could he |
| [10:16.44] |
And when he came to the lady's door |
| [10:21.78] |
He twirled so softly at the pin |
| [10:29.55] |
Saying Oh |
| [10:37.41] |
My dear |
| [10:44.01] |
It's your true love |
| [16:02.64] |
Rise up and let me in |
| [16:09.36] |
She said Surely you didn't leave |
| [16:13.50] |
Behind a golden brooch nor a velvet glove |
| [16:26.94] |
Or are you returning back again to taste more of my love |
| [16:43.41] |
Jack Orion |
| [16:44.25] |
He swore a bloody oath |
| [16:47.22] |
By oak |
| [16:47.97] |
By ash |
| [16:49.02] |
By bitter thorn |
| [16:53.34] |
Lady |
| [16:54.51] |
I never was in your house since the day that I was born |
| [17:06.48] |
Oh |
| [17:14.13] |
Then it was your young boy Tom that cruelly has beguiled me |
| [17:19.56] |
Oh woe |
| [17:24.78] |
That the blood of that ruffian boy did spring in my body |
| [17:46.86] |
Jack Orion sped off to his own house |
| [17:50.76] |
Saying |
| [17:51.69] |
Tom |
| [17:52.65] |
My boy |
| [17:54.51] |
Come here to me |
| [18:01.74] |
He hung him from his own gatepost |
| [18:17.91] |
High as a willow tree |
