Loading...

[verse 1]
once there lived a captain
who was borne out a*for sea
an’ before that he got married
he was sent far away

[verse 2]
oh, but when that he returned
to ‘er father he did go
“is your daughter inside, sir?
can i see her once more?”

[verse 3]
“for my daughter is not here, sir
she left us here last night
she is gone to some a*nunnery.”
was the old man replied

[verse 4]
he went on a*to this nunnery
an’ ‘e knockеd all at the door
out comes the ‘еverand mother
an’ she tearin’ go leor

[verse 5]
sayin’, “your true love is not here, sir
she is left us here last night
she is gone to some asylum
where she’s fractured in mind.”
[verse 6]
he went down unto this ‘sylum
where he got to hard surprise
and the answer that he gave him
was: “she died here last night”

[verse 6]
“let me in”, a*says the captain
“let me in”, the captain cried
“let me in until i see her
an’ l’ll die by her side.”

[verse 7]
for he stood at her left side
an’ his sharp*a sword ‘e drew
he stood to great attention
an’ ‘e pierced ‘is heart through

[verse 8]
oh a*sad it was the partin’
an’ hard it was the dooms
to see two loyal lovers
lyin’ dead on the floor

[verse 9]
oh but green grows the laurel
and soft it falls the dew
sayin’, “sorry am i, true lover
for ever partin’ from you.”
