I Am A Youth That's Inclined To Ramble歌词

[00:00.000] 作曲 : i am a youth that's inclined to ramble
[00:13.00]i am a youth that's inclined to ramble,
[00:20.06]to some foreign country i mean to steer,
[00:27.62]i am loath to part from my friends and comrades,
[00:34.87]and my dear sweet heart, whom i loved dear.
[00:42.02]but there's one of those i do most admire,
[00:49.56]one her i'll think when i am far away,
[00:56.36]for since fates decreed i am resolved to part her,
[01:03.51]and try my fortune in america
[01:10.76]so farewell darling i must leave you,
[01:18.03]i place great dependence on your constancy,
[01:25.06]that no other young man may gain your favor,
[01:32.49]or change your mind when i am over the sea.
[01:39.36]for although the seas do separate us,
[01:46.87]and in between us they do rise and fall,
[01:53.75]if fortune favors me you'll find your jamie,
[02:00.84]returning homeward from america.
[02:19.29]oh jamie dear do you remember,
[02:28.19]when i sat with you for many the hour,
[02:33.08]and my young fancy away was carried,
[02:39.84]and the bees hummed around on each opening flower,
[02:47.05]but when you're crossing the western ocean.
[02:54.47]the maid that loved you, you'll never mind aver,
[03:01.35]and you'll scarce ever think upon the maids of erin,
[03:08.64]for you'll find strange sweethearts in america.
[03:40.88]oh mary dear, i don't dissemble,
[03:47.42]for to all other fair maids i'll prove untrue,
[03:54.81]and if you think that these are false promise,
[04:01.80]i'll leave these vows as a pledge to you.
[04:08.93]that what i have may prove unsuccessful,
[04:16.19]and fortune prove to me a slippery ball,
[04:23.53]that a favoring gale it may nerve blow on me,
[04:30.74]if forsake you in america.
[04:37.75]and to conclude and to end these verses,
[04:44.84]may god protect this young female fair,
[04:52.16]and keep her from every wild embarrassment,
[04:59.29]and of my darling take the greatest care.
[05:06.36]for she's slow to anger and of kind disposition,
[05:13.91]and her cheeks like roses in june do blow,
[05:20.63]in my nightly slumbers when ever i think on her,
[05:27.85]i could court her vision in america.
