[00:00.00]The Nightingale - The Dubliners
[00:01.94]Written by：Luke
[00:03.89]As I went a walking one morning in may
[00:09.15]I met a young couple so far did we stray
[00:15.61]And one was a young maid so sweet and so fair
[00:20.92]And the other was a soldier and a brave grenadier
[00:25.99]And they kissed so sweet and comforting
[00:28.53]As they clung to each other
[00:30.92]They went arm in arm along the road
[00:33.35]Like sister and brother
[00:37.53]They went arm in arm along the road
[00:40.08]Til they came to a stream
[00:42.59]And they both sat down together love
[00:45.03]To hear the nightingale sing
[00:49.04]Out of his knapsack he took a fine fiddle
[00:53.84]He played her such merry tunes that you ever did hear
[01:00.00]He played her such merry tunes that the valley did ring
[01:05.00]And softly cried the fair maid as the nightingale sings
[01:10.22]And they kissed so sweet and comforting
[01:12.64]As they clung to each other
[01:14.97]They went arm in arm along the road
[01:17.54]Like sister and brother
[01:21.28]They went arm in arm along the road
[01:23.85]Til they came to a stream
[01:26.41]And they both sat down together love
[01:28.90]To hear the nightingale sing
[01:55.19]Oh I'm off to india for seven long years
[01:59.96]Drinking wines and strong whiskies instead of strong beer
[02:06.22]And if ever I return again 'twill be in the spring
[02:11.23]And we'll both sit down together love to hear the nightingale sing
[02:16.19]And they kissed so sweet and comforting
[02:18.56]As they clung to each other
[02:21.10]They went arm in arm along the road
[02:23.63]Like sister and brother
[02:27.32]They went arm in arm along the road
[02:29.90]Til they came to a stream
[02:32.43]And they both sat down together love
[02:34.84]To hear the nightingale sing
[02:38.76]Well then says the fair maid will you marry me
[02:43.48]Oh no says the soldier however can that be
[02:49.62]For I've my own wife at home in my own country
[02:54.46]And she is the finest little maid that you ever did see
[02:59.42]And they kissed so sweet and comforting
[03:01.83]As they clung to each other
[03:04.29]They went arm in arm along the road
[03:06.87]Like sister and brother
[03:10.51]They went arm in arm along the road
[03:13.04]Til they came to a stream
[03:15.54]And they both sat down together love
[03:18.01]To hear the nightingale sing
