| [00:02.77] |
As I was out walkin' and ramblin' one day |
| [00:07.26] |
I spied a fair couple a-comin' my way |
| [00:12.24] |
One was a lady, as fair as could be |
| [00:16.79] |
And the other was a cowboy, and a brave one was he |
| [00:22.47] |
He said "Where are you goin', my pretty fair maid?" |
| [00:27.25] |
"Just down by the river, just down by the shade |
| [00:31.63] |
Just down by the river, just down by the spring |
| [00:36.60] |
To see the wild ripplin' waters and hear the nightingale sing" |
| [00:41.67] |
|
| [00:42.88] |
Well they hadn't been there but an hour or so |
| [00:47.44] |
'Til he drew from his satchel a fiddle and bow |
| [00:52.49] |
He tuned his old fiddle all on the high string |
| [00:57.01] |
And he played this tune over and over again |
| [01:03.20] |
Then said the cowboy "I should have been gone" |
| [01:07.98] |
"No, no", said the pretty maid. "Just play one more song |
| [01:12.98] |
I'd rather hear the fiddle just played on one string |
| [01:17.48] |
Than see the wild ripplin' waters and hear the nightingale sing" |
