作曲 : Traditional/'Words by M., Music by T.' Way down in a meadow where the lily first blows, where the winds from the mountain ne'er ruffles the rose; Lives fond Evalina, the sweet little dove, The pride of the valley, the girl that I love. Sweet Evalina, dear Evalina, My love for you will never, never die; Dear Evalina, sweet Evalina, My love for thee shall never, never die. She is fair as a rose, like the lamb she is meek, and she never was known to put paint on her cheek; In the most graceful curls hangs her raven black hair, and she never requires perfumery there. Sweet Evalina, dear Evalina, My love for you will never, never die; Dear Evalina, sweet Evalina, My love for thee shall never, never die. Evalina and I, one fine evening in June, Took a walk all alone by the light of the moon; The planets all shone, for the heavens were clear, And I felt round the heart, oh, most mighty queer. Sweet Evalina, dear Evalina, My love for you will never, never die; Dear Evalina, sweet Evalina, My love for thee shall never, never die. Three years have now passed and I've not got a dollar, Evalina still lives in the green grassy holler; Although I am fated to marry her never, I'll love her for sure, forever and ever. Sweet Evalina, dear Evalina, My love for you will never, never die; Dear Evalina, sweet Evalina, My love for thee shall never, never die. Sweet Evalina, dear Evalina, My love for you will never, never die; Dear Evalina, sweet Evalina, My love for thee shall never, never die.
