"The Constant Lovers" गीत

As I was a-walking down by the sea shore
Where the wind and the waves and the billows do roar,
There I heard a strange voice make a terrible sound,
'Twas the wind and the waves and the echoes all around,

Crying, "Oh-oh-oh, my love is gone,
He's the youth I adore,
He's gone and I never shall see him no more.

She's a voice like a nightingale, skin like a dove
And the song that she sang it was all about love.
I asked her to marry me, marry me please
But the answer she gave, "My love's drowned in the sea.

Crying, "Oh-oh-oh, my love is gone,
He's the youth I adore,
He's gone and I never shall see him no more.

I told her I'd gold and I'd silver beside,
In a coach and six horses with me she could ride.
"No, I never shall marry, nor yet make a wife.
Constant and true-hearted all the time I have life."

Crying, "Oh-oh-oh, my love is gone,
He's the youth I adore,
He's gone and I never shall see him no more.

So she threw out her arms and she gave a great leap
From the cliffs that were high to the billows so deep,
Crying, "Rocks of the ocean shall make me a bed
And the shrimps of the sea shall swim over my head."

Crying, "Oh-oh-oh, my love is gone,
He's the youth I adore,
He's gone and I never shall see him no more.

And now every night at six bells they appear
When the moon it is shining and the sky it is clear,
These two constant lovers with all their young charms
Rolling over and over in each other's arms.

Crying, "Oh-oh-oh, my love is gone,
He's the youth I adore,
He's gone and I never shall see him no more.
