How often haunting the highest hilltop. I scan the ocean, a sail to see. Will it come tonight, love, will it come tomorrow. Or ever come, love, to comfort me.
As I was a-walking along ratcliffe highway. A recruiting party came a-beating my way.. They enlisted me and treated me 'til I did not know. Unto the queen's barracks they forced me to go..
Eighteen hundred and eighty five. Is a year I remember so well. When they drove old brad into an early grave. And sent my mother to jail. Now I don't know what's right or wrong.
Queen of Light took her bow. And then she turned to go,. The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom. And walked the night alone.. Oh, dance in the dark of night,.
Well, the angels came to see me today. Said ``we've taken your racehorse away''. And I believe it was that bookmaker from crail. I believe that he put one in her pail.
"I forbid you maidens all that wear gold in your hair. To travel to Carter Hall for young Tam Lin is there. . None that go by Carter Hall but they leave him a pledge.
My ship sails in. On a cloud of broken promises. It's just not true. Not a single word she says. Time will tell. Whether I can change my ways. It might take years.
Such sweet love is so hard to find. Look around, these are troublesome times. The sun beats down on our hunger and thirst. It would soon all be over if we let it be worse.
Take the sun from my heart. Let me learn to despise. I'll show you another who cannot tell lies. . The blind man can't see. Who demands to his eyes. I'll show you another who sings as he cries.
I sit and wonder at the thought. That someday you'll be going. At the same time I realize. I must not be afraid. You are the one I love. You are the one I touch.
My young man, oh he is so fine,. Sweet Rosemary did say.. She gathered flowers and she sang. All about her wedding day.. . Oh when I was a lass at school.
Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river. You can hear the boats go by. You can spend the night beside her. And you know that she's half crazy.
It seems that loving is a game that I can't win. No sooner are you here than gone again. Is there nothing I can say. To change your mind and stay. Alone with you is all I long to be.
He was a stranger to himself,. A spy in his own camp,. And his money was his health,. All thrown to the dust by his very own hand.. . Yet his beauty lingered still,.
Some sweet day, some sweet day. I'm gonna hold you like I want to. I'm gonna kiss you like I want to. I'm gonna love you like I need to. Some sweet day.
Chorus. Just a roll, just a roll,. Just a roll on your drum.. Just a roll, just a roll,. And the war has begun.. Now the right thing's the wrong thing,.
Good morning, good afternoon,. And what have you got to say?. Well I'm waiting, but I can't stay long,. It's such a lovely day.. . There's a time to be talking.
The king sits in dunfermline town. Drinking of the blood red wine,. ''where can I get a good sea captain. To sail this mighty ship of mine? ''. . Then up there spoke a bonny boy.
My young love said to me "My mother won't mind. And my father won't slight you for your lack of kind". And she laid her hand on me and this she did say.
I don't want your lonely mansion. With a tear in every room. All I want's the love you've promised. Beneath the halo moon. . But you think I should be happy.
