Happy Love
6 "His coal-black eyes and his curly hair,
And his flattering tongue did my heart ensnare. Genteel he was, no rogue like you, To drive a maiden, to drive a maiden, To slight the jacket blue."
7 When William did this ring unfold, She seemed distracted with grief and joy, "You're welcome, William, I have land and gold For my dark-eyed sailor, for my dark-eyed sailor, So manly, true, and bold."
8 In a cottage down by the riverside, In unity and love they now reside.
So girls, be true while your beau is away, For a cloudy morning, for a cloudy morning, Oft brings a pleasant day. |
