One Morning in May — текст песни (James Taylor)

One morning, one morning, one morning in may

I spied a young couple, they were making their way

One was a maiden so bright and so fair

And the other was a soldier and a brave volunteer



Good morning, good morning, good morning said he

And where are you going my pretty lady

Im goig out a walkin on the banks of the sea

Just to see the waters gliding hear the nightingale sing



Now they had not been standing but a minute or two

And out of his knapsack a fiddle he drew

And the tune that he played made the valleys all ring

Oh hark cried the maiden hear the nightingale sing



Oh maiden fair maiden tis time to give oer

Oh no kind soldier please play one tune more

For Id rather hear your fiddle at the touch of one string

Than to see the waters gliding hear the nightingale sing



Oh soldier kind soldier will you marry me

Oh no pretty maiden that never shall be

Ive a wife in london and children twice three

Two wives and the armys too many for me



Well Ill go back to london and Ill stay there for a year

Its often that Ill think of you my little dear

And if ever I return it will be in the spring

Just to see the waters gliding hear the nightingale sing

To see the waters gliding hear the nightingale sing
