Lyrics
so sweet and so fair
and we ll both sit down together
Softly cried the fair maide, hear the nightingale sing., then out of his knapsack he drew a fine fiddle
However can that be?, and he played her such merry tunes that you ever did hear
And she is the fairest little thing that you ever did see., and one was a young maide, and one was a young maide
They went arm and arm down the road like sister and brother, they went arm and arm down the road like sister and brother
And he played her such merry tunes that you ever did hear, and he played her such merry tunes that the valleys did ring, to hear the nightingale sing
to hear the nightingale sing
as i was a walking and a rambling on day
And they both sat down together, and he played her such merry tunes that you ever did hear, they went arm and arm down the road till they came to a stream
Said the soldier, i spied a young couple so fondly did stray
and he played her such merry tunes that the valleys did ring
now i m off to india for several long years,
Now i m off to india for several long years,, then said the fair maide, won t you merry me? Dubliners, for i ve me own wife at home in the old country,
And one was a young maide, they went arm and arm down the road like sister and brother
as i was a walking and a rambling on day
Softly cried the fair maide, hear the nightingale sing., and he played her such merry tunes that you ever did hear
And one was a young maide, then out of his knapsack he drew a fine fiddle The, and they both sat down together
and one was a young maide
It will be in the spring,, then said the fair maide, won t you merry me?
and one was a young maide
then out of his knapsack he drew a fine fiddle
And the other one was a soldier and a brave grenadier, then out of his knapsack he drew a fine fiddle
Softly cried the fair maide, hear the nightingale sing., it will be in the spring,, and we ll both sit down together
And they kissed so sweet and comforting as they clung to each other, and the other one was a soldier and a brave grenadier, and the other one was a soldier and a brave grenadier
I spied a young couple so fondly did stray, as i was a walking and a rambling on day
