Pleasant and Delightful
'Twas pleasant and delightful
One midsummer's morn
To view the green fields
All covered with corn
The blackbirds and thrushes
Sang on every green spray
And the larks they sang melodious
At the dawning of the day
And the larks they sang melodious
And the larks they sang melodious
And the larks they sang melodious
At the dawning of the day
Now a sailor and his true love
Were walking one day
Said the sailor to his true love
I am bound far away
Bound for the East Indies
Where are cannons to roar
I must go and leave you Nancy
You're the girl that I adore
I must go and leave you Nancy
I must go and leave you Nancy
I must go and leave you Nancy
You're the girl that I adore
Now the ring from her finger
She instantly drew
Saying take this my dearest Willie
And me heart will go too
And as he embraced her
Tears from her eyes fell
Saying may I go along with you
Oh no me love farewell
Saying may I go along with you
Saying may I go along with you
Saying may I go along with you
Oh no me love farewell
So fare thee well my dearest Nancy
I'm bound far away
For the ship is a-waiting
Out there in the bay
The anchor is hoisted
She waits the next flowing tide
And if ever I return again
I will make you my bride
And if ever I return again
And if ever I return again
And if ever I return again
I will make you my bride
One midsummer's morn
To view the green fields
All covered with corn
The blackbirds and thrushes
Sang on every green spray
And the larks they sang melodious
At the dawning of the day
And the larks they sang melodious
And the larks they sang melodious
And the larks they sang melodious
At the dawning of the day
Now a sailor and his true love
Were walking one day
Said the sailor to his true love
I am bound far away
Bound for the East Indies
Where are cannons to roar
I must go and leave you Nancy
You're the girl that I adore
I must go and leave you Nancy
I must go and leave you Nancy
I must go and leave you Nancy
You're the girl that I adore
Now the ring from her finger
She instantly drew
Saying take this my dearest Willie
And me heart will go too
And as he embraced her
Tears from her eyes fell
Saying may I go along with you
Oh no me love farewell
Saying may I go along with you
Saying may I go along with you
Saying may I go along with you
Oh no me love farewell
So fare thee well my dearest Nancy
I'm bound far away
For the ship is a-waiting
Out there in the bay
The anchor is hoisted
She waits the next flowing tide
And if ever I return again
I will make you my bride
And if ever I return again
And if ever I return again
And if ever I return again
I will make you my bride
