• Pleasant and delightful

It was pleasant and delightful
One midsummer's morn
When the fields and the meadows
Were all covered in corn
And the blackbirds and thrushes
Sang on every green spray
And the larks they sang melodious
At the dawning of the day

And the larks they sang melodious
And the larks they sang melodious
And the larks they sang melodious
At the dawning of the day

A sailor and his true love
Were a'walking one day
Said the sailor to his truelove
I am bound far away
I am bound for the East Indies
Where the loud cannons roar
I must go and leave my Nancy
She's the girl that I adore

I must go and leave my Nancy
I must go and leave my Nancy
I must go and leave my Nancy
She's the girl that I adore

Then the ring from off her finger
She instantly drew
Saying, Take this my dearest William
And me heart will go too
And whilst they stood embracing
Tears from her eyes fell
Saying, May I go along with you?
O no, me love, farewell!

Saying, May I go along with you?
Saying, May I go along with you?
Saying, May I go along with you?
O no, me love, farewell!

So it's fare thee well my Nancy
I can no longer stay
For the topsail is hoisted
And the anchor's aweigh
And the ship lies awaiting
For the next flowing tide
And if ever I return again
I will make you my bride

And if ever I return again
And if ever I return again
And if ever I return again
I will make you my bride
