Lloyd - Oxford City Jealous Lover слова песни
Oxford City (Jealous Lover)In Oxford City lived a ladyAnd she was beautiful and fairOh, she was courted by a sailorAnd he did love her as his dearHe said, "My dear, let us get marriedLet us now no longer stayI`ll work for you both late and earlyIf you my wedded bride will be"The girl she loved him, but at a distanceShe did not seem to be quite so fondHe said, "My dear, you seem to slight meI`m sure you love some other man"He saw her dancing with some otherA jealous thought came to his mindAnd to destroy his own true loveHe gave to her a glass of wineSo soon she drank it, so soon she felt it"Oh hold me fast, my dear," said she"Is it that glass of wine you gave meTakes my innocent life away?""That glass of wine now which I gave youThat glass of wine did strong poison hideFor if you won`t be my true loverYou`ll never be no other man`s bride"That glass of wine which now I gave youIt`s I have drinked of the same," he said"So in each other`s arms we`ll die togetherTo warn young men of jealousy""Oh hark, oh hark, the cocks are crowingThe daylight now will soon appearAnd into my cold grave I`m goingAnd it`s you, Willie, who called me here"printed in Penguin Book of English Folk Songs By Williams and Lloydfilename[ OXFJEALplay.exe OXFJEALSF===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY===
