As Sylvie was walking down by the riverside |
|
As Sylvie was walking down by the riverside |
|
And looking so sadly |
|
looking so sadly |
|
looking so sadly |
|
All upon the swift tide |
|
She thought on her lover that left her in pride |
|
She thought on her lover that left her in pride |
|
On the banks of the meadow |
|
On the banks of the meadow |
|
On the banks of the meadow |
|
She sat down and cried |
|
And as she sat weeping a young man came by |
|
And as she sat weeping a young man came by |
|
What ails you my jewel |
|
What ails you my jewel |
|
What ails you my jewel |
|
And makes you to cry |
|
Well I once had a sweetheart and now I have none |
|
I once had a sweetheart and now I have none |
|
He's gone and leave me |
|
Gone and leave me |
|
Gone and leave me |
|
In sorrow to mourn |
|
Last night in sweet slumber I dreamed that I did see |
|
Last night in sweet slumber I dreamed that I did see |
|
Mine own dearest true love |
|
Mine own dearest true love |
|
Mine own dearest true love |
|
Come smiling to me |
|
But when I awokened I found it not so |
|
But when I awokened I found it not so |
|
Mine eyes were like fountains |
|
Mine eyes were like fountains |
|
Mine eyes were like fountains |
|
Where the waters do flow |
|
I'll set sail of silver and steer towards the sun |
|
I'll set sail of silver and steer towards the sun |
|
And my false love will weep |
|
My false love will weep |
|
My false love will weep |
|
For me after I'm gone. |
