[00:00.00]I Am A Youth That’s Inclined To Ramble - Cara Dillon
[00:07.06]Written by：Lakeman Samuel Charles/Dillon Cara Elizabeth
[00:14.12]I am a youth that's inclined to ramble
[00:19.93]
[00:21.22]To some foreign country I meen to steer
[00:26.35]
[00:28.49]I am loath to part from my friends and comrades
[00:34.45]
[00:35.61]And my dear sweat heart whom I loved dear
[00:41.27]
[00:42.82]But there's one of those I do most admire
[00:49.34]
[00:50.29]One her I'll think when I'm far away
[00:56.03]
[00:57.15]For since fates decreed I am resolved to part her
[01:03.53]
[01:04.52]And try my fortune in America
[01:09.93]
[01:11.64]So farewell darling I must leave you
[01:18.18]
[01:18.89]I place great dependence on your constancy
[01:24.19]
[01:26.14]That no other young man may gain your favour
[01:32.31]
[01:33.21]Or change your mind when I am o'ver the sea
[01:38.73]
[01:40.44]For although the seas do separate us
[01:47.25]
[01:47.91]And in between us they do rise and fall
[01:53.30]
[01:54.90]If fortune favours me you'll find your Jamie
[02:00.60]
[02:02.20]Returning homeward from America
[02:07.99]
[02:19.97]Oh Jamie dear do you remember
[02:25.31]
[02:26.82]When I sat with you for many's the hour
[02:31.89]
[02:34.06]And my young fancy away was carried
[02:39.55]
[02:41.17]And the bees hummed around on each opening flower
[02:46.77]
[02:48.40]But when you're crossing the western ocean
[02:55.21]
[02:55.93]The maid that loved you you'll ne'er mind Ava
[03:01.96]
[03:02.78]And you'll scarce e'er think upon the maids of Erin
[03:09.02]
[03:10.05]For you'll find strange sweethearts in America
[03:16.09]
[03:42.22]Oh Mary dear I don't disemble
[03:47.95]
[03:49.05]For to all other fair maids I'll prove untrue
[03:54.75]
[03:56.31]And if you think that these are fales promise
[04:02.36]
[04:03.42]I'll leave these vows as a pledge to you
[04:08.84]
[04:10.75]That what I have may prove unsuccessful
[04:17.33]
[04:18.17]And fortune prove to me a slippery ball
[04:23.49]
[04:25.16]That a favoring gale it may n'er blow on me
[04:31.36]
[04:32.42]If forsake you in America
[04:37.65]
[04:39.59]And to conclude and to end these verses
[04:45.98]
[04:46.77]May god profect this young female fair
[04:52.25]
[04:54.03]And keep her from every wild embarrassment
[04:59.63]
[05:01.06]And of my darling take the greatest care
[05:06.37]
[05:08.27]For she's slow to anger and of kind disposition
[05:14.97]
[05:15.86]And her cheeks like roses in June do blaw
[05:21.29]
[05:22.56]In my nightly slumbers when e'er I think on her
[05:28.96]
[05:29.94]I could court her vision in America
