Paroles de Blackbird
Silly Wizard
I am a young maiden, my story is sad
For once i was carefree and in love with a lad
He courted me sweetly by night and by day
But now he has left me and gone far away
Chorus:
Oh if i was a blackbird, could whistle and sing
I'd follow the vessel my true love sails in
And in the top rigging i would there build my nest
And i'd flutter my wings o'er his broad golden chest
He sailed o'er the ocean, his fortune to seek
I missed his caresses and his kiss on my cheek
He returned and i told him my love was still warm
He turned away lightly and great was his scorn
He offered to take me to donnybrook fair
To buy me fine ribbons, tie them up in my hair
He offered to marry and to stay by my side
But then in the morning he sailed with the tide
My parents they chide me, and will not agree
Saying that me and my true love married should never be
Ah but let them deprive me, or let them do what they will
While there's breath in my body, he's the one that i love still
Male perspective...
I am a young sailor, my story is sad
For once i was carefree and a bold sailor lad
I courted a lassie by night and by day
But now she has left me and gone far away
Chorus:
Oh if i was a blackbird, could whistle and sing
I'd follow the vessel my true love sails in
And in the top rigging i would there build my nest
And i'd flutter my wings o'er her lily-white breast
Or if i was a scholar and could handle a pen
One secret love letter to my true love i'd send
And i'd tell of my sorrow, my grief and my pain
Since she's gone and left me in yon flowery glen
I sailed o'er the ocean, my fortune to seek
Though i missed her caress and her kiss on my cheek
I returned and i told her my love was still warm
But she turned away lightly and great was her scorn
I offered to take her to donnybrook fair
And to buy her fine ribbons to tie up her hair
I offered to marry and to stay by her side
But she said in the morning she sailed with the tide
My parents they chide me, and will not agree
Saying that me and my false love married should never be
Ah but let them deprive me, or let them do what they will
While there's breath in my body, she's the one that i love still
