Lovely On The Water
as i walked out one morning in the springtime of the year i overheard a sailor boy likewise a lady fair
they sang a song together made the valleys for to ring while the birds on the spray in the meadows gay proclaimed the lovely spring
said willy unto nancy oh we soon must sail away for its lovely on the water to hear the music play
for our queen she do want seamen so i will not stay on shore i will brave the wars for my country where the blund'ring cannons roar
poor nancy fell and fainted Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com but soon he brought her to for it's there they kissed and they embraced and took a fond adieu
come change your ring with me my love for we may meet once more but there's one above that will guard you love where the blund'ring cannons roar
four pounds it is our bounty and that must do for thee for to help the aged parents while i am on the sea
for tower hill is crowded with mothers weeping sore for their sons are gone to face the foe where the blundering cannons roar
