Lyrics

[00:16] I am a young sailor, my story is sad
[00:25] Though once I was carefree and a brave sailor lad
[00:32] I courted a lassie by night and by day
[00:40] Ah, but now she has left me and sailed far away
[00:50] Oh, if I was a blackbird, could whistle and sing
[00:59] I'd follow the vessel my true love sails in
[01:07] And in the top rigging, I would there build my nest
[01:15] And I'd flutter my wings over her lily-white breast
[01:25] Or if I was a scholar and could handle a pen
[01:33] One secret love letter to my true love I'd send
[01:41] And I'd tell of my sorrow, my grief and my pain
[01:50] Since she's gone and left me in yon flowery glen
[02:00] Oh, if I was a blackbird, could whistle and sing
[02:08] I'd follow the vessel my true love sails in
[02:16] And in the top rigging, I would there build my nest
[02:24] And I'd flutter my wings over her lily-white breast
[02:35] I sailed over the ocean, my fortune to seek
[02:42] And though I missed her caress and her kiss on my cheek
[02:50] I returned and I told her my love was still warm
[02:59] But she turned away lightly and great was her scorn
[03:09] Oh, if I was a blackbird, could whistle and sing
[03:16] I'd follow the vessel my true love sails in
[03:26] And in the top rigging, I would there build my nest
[03:34] And I'd flutter my wings over her lily-white breast
[04:17] I offered to take her to Donnybrook Fair
[04:26] And to buy her fine ribbons to tie up her hair
[04:34] I offered to marry and to stay by her side
[04:42] But she says in the morning she sailed with the tide
[04:53] Oh, if I was a blackbird, could whistle and sing
[05:00] I'd follow the vessel my true love sails in
[05:09] And in the top rigging, I would there build my nest
[05:16] And I'd flutter my wings over her lily-white breast
[05:26] My parents they chide me and will not agree
[05:35] Saying that me and my false love, married should never be
[05:42] Ah, but let them deprive me or let them do what they will
[05:50] While there's breath in my body, she's the one that I love still
[06:00] Oh, if I was a blackbird, could whistle and sing
[06:08] I'd follow the vessel my true love sails in
[06:17] And in the top rigging, I would there build my nest
[06:24] And I'd flutter my wings over her lily-white breast
