PLEASANT AND DELIGHTFUL



It was pleasant and delightful one midsummer's morn

When the fields and the meadows were all covered in corn

And the blackbirds and thrushes sang on every green spray

And the larks they sang melodious at the dawning of the day

And the larks they sang melodious (3x) at the dawning of the day



A sailor and his true love were a'walking one day

Said the sailor to his truelove I am bound far away

I am bound for the East Indies where the load cannons roar

I must go and leave my Nancy, she's the girl that I adore

(as above)



Then the ring from off her finger she instantly drew

Saying, Take this my dearest William and my heart will go too

And whilst he stood embracing her tears from her eyes fell

Saying, May I go along with you, o no, my love, farewell



So it's fare thee well my Nancy, I can no longer stay

For the topsail is hoisted and the anchor aweigh

And the ship lies awaiting for the next flowing tide

And if ever I return again, I will make you my bride
