Two Constant Lovers - Steeleye Span

Two Constant Lovers - Steeleye Span
Now as I was a walking down by the sea shore
Where the wind it did whistle
And the waves they did roar
There I heard a fair maid make a terrible sound
Like the wind and the waves that did echo around
Crying "Oh my love is gone
He's the youth I adore
And he's drowned
And I never shall see him no more"
She'd a voice like a nightingale skin like a dove
And the song that she sang it was all about love
When I asked her to marry me marry me please
But the answer she gave:
"My love's drowned in the seas"
Crying "Oh my love is gone
He's the youth I adore
And he's drowned
And I never shall see him no more"
So I said I had gold and I'd silver beside
On a coach and six horses with me she could ride
She said: "I'll not marry nor yet prove a wife
I'll be constant and true all the days I have life"
Crying "Ohh my love is gone
He's the youth I adore
And he's drowned
And I never shall see him no more"
Then she flung her arms wide and she took a great leap
From the cliffs that were high to the billows so deep
Saying: "The rocks of the ocean shall be my death bed
And the shrimps of the sea shall swim over my head"
Crying "Ohh my love is gone
He's the youth I adore
And he's drowned
And I never shall see him no more"
And now every night at six bells they appear
When the moon is shining at and the stars they are clear
These two constant lovers with each other's charms
Rolling over and over in each other's arms
Crying "Ohh my love is gone
He's the youth I adore
And he's drowned
And I never shall see him no more"
And I never shall see him no more"
And I never shall see him no more"
