[00:00.00]So Early In The Spring (Live / 1981) - The John Renbourn Group
[00:10.24]So early early in the spring
[00:14.75]I shipped on board to serve my king
[00:19.72]I left my dearest my dear behind
[00:23.99]She oftimes swore her heart was mine
[00:32.61]And all the time I sailed the seas
[00:36.29]I could not find a moment's ease
[00:42.05]For thinking of my dearest dear
[00:46.47]But never a word of her could I hear
[01:17.41]At last I sailed into Glasco town
[01:21.92]I searched the streets both up and down
[01:26.85]Inquiring for my dearest dear
[01:31.08]But never a word of her could I hear
[01:39.60]I went straight way to her father's hall
[01:44.17]And gladly for my love did call
[01:48.65]My daughter is married now she's a rich man's wife
[01:53.65]She's wed to another much better for life
[02:24.23]Oh curse your gold and your silver too
[02:28.79]And curse the girl that wont prove true
[02:33.60]Who all her former vows did break
[02:37.97]And went with another for richer's sake
[02:46.50]If the girl is married that I adore
[02:50.75]I'm sure I'll stay on land no more
[02:55.75]I'll sail the seas till the day I die
[03:00.07]I'll break through waves rolling mountain high
[03:30.43]So early early in the spring
[03:34.99]I shipped on board to serve my king
[03:39.93]I left my dearest dear behind
[03:44.18]She oftimes swore her heart was mine
