Sinead O`Connor - Her Mantle So Green слова песни
As I went out walking, one morning in JuneTo view the fair fields, and the valleys in bloom;I spied a pretty fair maid, she appeared like a queen,With her costly fine robes and her mantle so greenSays I, my pretty fair maid, wont you come with me,We`ll both join in wedlock, and married we`ll be;I will dress you in fine linen, you`ll appear like a queen,With your costly fine robes and your mantle so green.Says she, now my young man, you must be excused, For I`ll wed no man, so you must be refused;To the green woods I will wander and shun all men`s viewFor the boy I love dearly lies in farmed waterloo.Well if you`re not married, say your lover`s nameI fought in that battle, so I might know the same.Draw near to my garment, and there you will seeHis name is embroidered on my mantle so green.In the ribbon of her mantle, there I did behold,His name and his surname, in letters of goldYoung William O`Riley, appeared in my viewHe was my chief comrade back in farmed waterlooAnd as he lay dying, I heard his last cry“If you were here lovely Nancy I`d be willing to die”And as I told her this story, in anguish she flew,And the more that I told her, the paler she grewSo I smiled on my Nancy, �twas I broke your heart,In your fathers garden, that day we did partAnd this is the truth, and the truth I declare,Oh here`s your love token the gold ring I wear.
