Lately last night, I was asked to a wedding |
| [00:22.668] |
The wedding of a fair maid who proved to me unkind |
| [00:33.184] |
For that day as she thought of her intended young lover |
| [00:44.934] |
Thoughts of her old one had run through her mind |
| [00:56.306] |
Supper being over and all things were ended |
| [01:07.563] |
Every young man was to sing a fine song |
| [01:17.904] |
Until it came to the turn of her own foreign lover |
| [01:29.571] |
And the song that he sang to the bride did belong |
| [01:41.107] |
How can you sit at another man's table? |
| [01:52.481] |
How can you drink of another man's wine? |
| [02:03.276] |
How can you lie in the arms of another? |
| [02:14.990] |
Many's the night, love, that you lay in mine |
| [02:29.696] |
Many's the one has been seven years parted |
| [02:40.505] |
Seven years parted and did return again |
| [02:51.332] |
But I have only been two years away, love |
| [03:02.837] |
Two years away, love, and did return again |
| [03:20.017] |
The bride, she was seated at the head of the table |
| [03:31.193] |
Very well she knew to whom the song did belong |
| [03:42.238] |
Her heart, it grew faint, she could stand it no longer |
| [03:53.850] |
Down at the feet of the bridegroom she fell |
| [04:07.892] |
Sobbing and sighing she rose from the table |
| [04:19.135] |
Sobbing and sighing she went to her bed |
| [04:30.222] |
Early next morning the bridegroom awakened |
| [04:41.768] |
He turned to embrace her and found she was dead |
| [04:55.877] |
Saying, "Annie, dear Annie, I knew you never loved me |
| [05:07.034] |
My love and your love could never agree |
| [05:18.277] |
For I knew all along that your poor heart was breaking |
| [05:29.805] |
All for the sake of a foreign young man" |
| [05:41.131] |
So now I must wear a frock of deep mourning |
| [05:52.585] |
A frock of deep mourning, one, two and three |
| [06:03.804] |
I must wear to her wake my own wedding garment |
| [06:15.929] |
Ne'er again shall I go between the bark and the tree |
