Dark Eyed Sailor - Kate Rusby
As I roved out one evening fair
It being summer to take the air
I spied a sailor and lady gay
And I stood to listen and I stood to listen
To hear what they might say
He said"Fair lady why do you roam
The day is spent and the night is on"
She heaved a sigh while tears did flow
"For me dark-eyed sailor for me dark-eyed sailor
So young and stout and bold
Tis seven long years since he left this land
A ring he took of his lily-white hand
One half the ring is still here with me
But the other's rolling but the other's rolling
At the bottom of the sea"
He said"Can't you drive him right out of your mind
Another young man you surely can find
Love turns aside and cold does grow
Like a winter's morning like a winter's morning
When the hills are white with snow"
She said"I will never forsake my dear
Although we're parted this many a year
Gentile he was and no villain like you
To induce a maiden to induce a maiden
To slight the jacket of blue"
Then half of the ring did young William show
She ran distracted in grief and woe
Saying"William William I have gold in store
For me dark-eyed sailor for me dark-eyed sailor
Who's proved his over throw"
There is a cottage by yonder lee
This couple is married and does agree
So maids be loyal when your love is away
For a cloudy morning for a cloudy morning
Brings in a sunny day
