Celtic Folk Miscellaneous The Nightingale THE NIGHTINGALE C G7 C As I was a walking and a rambling on day, G7 I spied a young couple so fondly did stray. C G7 And one was a young maide, so sweet and so fair, C F G7 C And the other one was a soldier and a brave Grenadier. CHORUS: C F G7 C And they kissed so sweet and comforting as they clung to each other. C G7 They went arm and arm down the road like sister and brother. C G7 They went arm and arm down the road till they came to a stream, C F G7 C and they both sat down together, love, to hear the nightingale sing. C G7 C Then out of his knapsack he drew a fine fiddle. C G7 And he played her such merry tunes that you ever did hear. C G7 And he played her such merry tunes that the valleys did ring. C F G7 C "Oh",softly cried the fair maide,"hear the Nightingale sing." Cho. C G7 C "Oh",then said the fair maide,"won't you merry me?" G7 "Oh no", said the soldier, "however could that be?" C G7 "For I've me own wife at home in the old country," C F G7 C "And she is the fairest little thing that you ever did see." Cho. C G7 C "Now I'm off to India for several long years," C G7 "Drinkin' Wine and strong whiskey instead of pale beer." C G7 "But if ever I return again, it will be in the spring," C F G7 C "And we'll both sit down together,Love, to hear the Nightingale sing." |
