As Sylvie Went Walking - Remastered

As Sylvie was walking down by the riverside
As Sylvie was walking down by the riverside
And looking so sadly, and looking so sadly
And looking so sadly, upon its swift tide

She thought on the lover that left her in pride
She thought on the lover that left her in pride
On the banks of the meadow, On the banks of the meadow
On the banks of the meadow she sat down and cried

And she sat weeping, a young man came by
And she sat weeping, a young man came by
What ails you, my jewel, What ails you, my jewel
What ails you, my jewel and makes you cry

I once had a sweetheart and now I have none
I once had a sweetheart and now I have none
He's a-gone and he's leaved me, he's a-gone, deceived me
He's a-gone and he's leaved me in sorrow to mourn

One night in sweet slumber, I dream that I see
One night in sweet slumber, I dream that I see
My own dearest true love, My own dearest true love
My own dearest true love come smiling to me

But when I awoke and I found it not so
But when I awoke and I found it not so
Mine eyes were like fountains, Mine eyes were like fountains
Mine eyes were like fountains where the water doth flow

I'll spread sail of silver and I'll steer towards the sun
I'll spread sail of silver and I'll steer towards the sun
And my false love will weep, And my false love will weep
And my false love will weep for me after I'm gone
