Steeleye Span
Dark-Eyed Sailot
As I roved out one evening fairIt bein' the summertime to take the airI spied a sailor and a lady gayAnd I stood to listenAnd I stood to listen to hear what they would say.He said "fair lady, why do you roamFor the day is spent and the night is on"She heaved a sigh while the tears did roll"For my dark-eyed sailorFor my dark-eyed sailor, so young and stout and bold.""'Tis seven long years since he left this landA ring he took from off his lily-white handOne half of the ring is still here with meBut the other's rollin'but the other's rollin' at the bottom of the sea."He said, "you may drive him out of your mindSome other young man you will surely findLove turns aside and soon cold has grownLike the winter's morningLike the winter's morning, the hills are white with snow."She said, "I'll never forsake my dearAlthough we're parted this many a yearLetras de cancionesGenteel he was and a rake like youTo induce a maidenTo induce a maiden to slight the jacket blue."One half of the ring did young William showShe ran distracted in grief and woeSayin' "William, William, i have gold in storeFor my dark-eyed sailorFor my dark-eyed sailor has proved his honour long"And there is a cottage by yonder leaThis couple's married and does agreeSo maids be loyal when your love's at seaFor a cloudy morningFor a cloudy morning brings in a sunny day.
