[00:01.66]Lyrics by：Anonymous
[00:02.11]Composed by：Ernest John Moeran
[00:03.40]It's down in Cupid's Garden
[00:05.75]For pleasure I did go
[00:08.68]All for to view the flowers
[00:11.90]All for to view the flowers
[00:13.82]That in the garden grow
[00:17.75]The first it was the jasmine
[00:20.43]The lily pink and rose
[00:23.27]These are the finest flowers
[00:26.67]These are the finest flowers
[00:29.29]That in the garden grow
[00:33.05]I hadn't been in the garden
[00:35.77]Not passing half an hour
[00:38.64]Before I saw two maidens
[00:41.51]Before I saw two maidens
[00:43.88]Sitting in a pleasant bower
[00:48.47]The one was lovely Nancy
[00:51.06]So beautiful and fair
[00:53.89]And the other was a maiden
[00:56.96]And the other was a maiden
[00:59.76]That did the laurel wear
[01:05.57]I boldly stepped up to her
[01:08.50]These words to her did say
[01:11.44]Are you engaged to any young man
[01:14.52]Are you engaged to any young man
[01:17.22]Come tell to me I pray
[01:21.48]I'm not engaged to any young man
[01:24.05]She solemnly declared
[01:26.93]I mean to be a maiden
[01:29.66]I mean to be a maiden
[01:32.49]And still the laurel wear
[01:36.63]It's down in Portsmouth harbour
[01:39.66]My ship is waiting there
[01:42.55]And I must go to see my dear
[01:45.63]And I must go to see my dear
[01:48.29]When the wind it doth blow fair
[01:52.39]And if ever I do return again
[01:55.22]Married to you I'll be
[01:57.96]I'll make myself contented
[02:00.98]I'll make myself contented
[02:03.78]And go no more to sea
