Lyrics

[00:01.04] O the Streams Of rovin' Nancy
[00:05.26] divide in three parts
[00:08.76] Where the young men and maidens
[00:13.19] they meet their sweethearts
[00:16.81] It's the drinking of good liquor
[00:21.49] that makes my heart sing
[00:24.98] And the noise in the valley
[00:29.41] make the rocks for to ring.
[00:33.72] At the top of this mountain
[00:38.02] my love's castle stands
[00:41.77] And it's overbuilt with ivory
[00:46.32] on yonder black sand
[00:50.01] Fine arches, fine porches
[00:54.62] like diamonds so bright
[00:57.99] It's a beacon for a sailor
[01:02.36] on a dark winter's night.
[01:08.98] On yonder high mountain
[01:13.12] the wild fowl do fly
[01:16.92] And it's one in amongst them
[01:21.42] that files very high
[01:25.22] If I had them in my hands
[01:29.65] mere diamonds per grand
[01:33.21] And soon I would secure her
[01:37.70] by the sleight of my hand.
[01:43.75]
[02:06.63] At the base of this mountain
[02:11.01] a river runs clear
[02:14.57] And a ship from the Indies
[02:19.18] it once anchored there.
[02:22.86] With her red flags a-flying
[02:27.61] the beating of her drum
[02:31.10] Sweet instruments of music
[02:35.15] and the firin' of her gun.
[02:39.40] O the streams of lovely Nancy
[02:43.89] divide in three parts
[02:47.64] Where the young men and maidens
[02:52.19] they meet their sweethearts
[02:55.89] It's the drinking of good liquor
[03:00.51] that makes my heart sing
[03:04.02] And the noise in the valley
[03:08.20] make the rocks for to ring.
