Текст песни Pleasant and Delightful (Kick up the Dust) с переводом

'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
