| [00:01.40] |
Young Billy Brown, he was a brisk young lad |
| [00:05.09] |
When first that he raided me away |
| [00:09.53] |
He brought me from me parents and stole me from me home |
| [00:12.95] |
And now he's left me in the wicked world to stray |
| [00:17.74] |
|
| [00:17.75] |
He took me by the lily-white hand |
| [00:21.54] |
And led me down the garden path so green |
| [00:25.46] |
And what we have done there, well I never will declare |
| [00:29.00] |
But the leaves they were pleasant to be seen |
| [00:33.45] |
|
| [00:33.46] |
He took me by the middle so small |
| [00:37.19] |
And gently there he laid me down |
| [00:41.23] |
And what we have done there, well I never will declare |
| [00:45.09] |
But the winds they came a-whistling all around |
| [00:49.10] |
|
| [00:49.11] |
When six or seven long months were past and gone |
| [00:52.98] |
This young man he came a-riding by |
| [00:56.98] |
She says, Young man, I fear that I am with child by thee |
| [01:00.85] |
And the very same thing you can't deny |
| [01:04.90] |
|
| [01:04.91] |
Now if you were with child, me pretty maid |
| [01:08.78] |
It need not be any one of mine |
| [01:12.77] |
Unless that you can tell me the where and the when |
| [01:16.65] |
And also the hour and the time |
| [01:20.53] |
|
| [01:20.54] |
Oh yes, I can tell you the where and the when |
| [01:24.46] |
The very same hour and the time |
| [01:28.39] |
'Twas underneath me father's red and rosy bush |
| [01:32.37] |
Just as the village clock was striking nine |
| [01:36.30] |
|
| [01:36.31] |
Then he gave consent for to marry me, poor girl |
| [01:40.27] |
It was to be the very next day |
| [01:44.16] |
But instead of getting married to me, poor girl |
| [01:48.16] |
He took a ship and boldly sailed away |
| [01:51.90] |
|
| [01:51.91] |
But if ever he should return again from sea |
| [01:56.12] |
His curly curly locks I will enfold |
| [01:59.99] |
I never will upbraid him nor tell him of his faults |
| [02:03.79] |
But encourage him for being so bold |
