[00:11.368] In Oxford city there lived a lady,
[00:16.610] And she was beautiful and fair.
[00:20.866] And she was courted by a sailor,
[00:25.120] And he did love her as his dear.
[00:33.122]
[00:34.875] He said:' My dear, let us be married,
[00:39.109] Let us now no longer stay.
[00:43.104] I'll work for you both late and early
[00:47.855] If you my wedded bride will be.
[00:59.102]
[01:03.616] He saw her dancing with another.
[01:07.869] A jealous thought came to his mind;
[01:12.119] And to destroy his own true lover,
[01:16.362] He gave to her a glass of wine.
[01:24.860]
[01:26.365] So soon she drank it, so soon she felt it.
[01:30.367] 'Oh, hold me fast, my dear,' said she.
[01:34.864] Is it that glass of wine you did give me,
[01:48.318] That takes my sweet young life away?
[01:54.057]
[02:10.809] Oh listen my love now I'll tell you
[02:15.320] That glass of wine did poison hide,
[02:19.579] For if you won't be my own lover,
[02:23.824] You'll never be another's bride.
[02:38.820]
[02:40.072] Oh, that glass of wine which I gave you,
[02:44.321] Oh, I did drink it since I give,
[02:48.564] And in each other's arms we'll die together,
[02:53.056] To warn young men of jealousy.
[03:01.317]
[03:02.565] Oh hark, oh hark, the cocks are crowing.
[03:06.805] And soon the daylight will appear,
[03:11.317] And into my cold grave I am going,
[03:15.321] And you my love will join me there.
[03:27.080]
