| [00:07.36] |
I am a young maiden,my story is sad |
| [00:15.12] |
For once I was carefree and in love with a lad |
| [00:21.44] |
He courted me sweetly,by night and by day |
| [00:31.19] |
But now he has left me and gone far away |
| [00:39.13] |
Oh if I was a blackbird,could whistle and sing |
| [00:47.07] |
I'd follow the vessel my true love sails in |
| [00:55.29] |
And in the top rigging I would there build my nest |
| [01:03.25] |
And I'd flutter my wings to his broad golden chest |
| [01:27.16] |
He sailed o'er the ocean,his fortune to seek |
| [01:35.20] |
I missed his caresses and his kiss on my cheek |
| [01:43.23] |
Oh if I was a blackbird,could whistle and sing |
| [01:50.98] |
I'd follow the vessel my true love sails in |
| [01:59.09] |
And in the top rigging I would there build my nest |
| [02:07.21] |
And I'd flutter my wings to his broad golden chest |
| [02:15.49] |
Then he offered to marry and to stay by my side |
| [02:23.21] |
But then in the morning he sailed with the tide |
| [02:33.36] |
I am a young maiden,my story is sad |
| [02:41.04] |
Oh if I was a blackbird,could whistle and sing |
| [02:49.06] |
I'd follow the vessel my true love sails in |
| [02:57.13] |
And in the top rigging I would there build my nest |
| [03:05.16] |
And I'd flutter my wings to his broad golden chest |
