about

English folk song, a woman's lament for her husband who was press-ganged into the navy.

lyrics

All things are quite silent, each mortal at rest,
As me and my true love was snug in one nest.
A bold set of ruffians they entered into our cave,
And forced my dear jewel to plough the salt wave.

I begged for my sailor as I'd begged for my life.
But they'd not listen to me although a fond wife,
Saying, “The king must have sailors, to the seas he must go.”
And they left me lamenting in sorrow and woe.

Through green fields and meadows we oft times did walk,
And with sweet conversations of love we did talk,
While the birds in the woodland so sweetly did sing,
And the young thrushes' voices made the valleys to ring.

Though my love has left me I'll not be cast down.
Who knows but some day my love might return?
And will make me amends for my sorrow and strife,
And me and my true love will be happy for life.
