Текст песни: Tarry Trousers + перевод

As I roved out one fine summer’s evening

To view those flowers and to take the air

'Twas there I spied a tender mother

Talking to her daughter dear

Daughter, O daughter, I’II have you to marry

No longer to live a sweet single life

O mother, O mother, I’d rather to tarry

To be a brave young sailor’s wife

A sailor shy sits all for to wander

To some foreign country he go

They will cause you to sigh and to murmur

They will prove your overthrow

Or if you could get me to wed with a farmer

To be your joy and heart’s delight

But give me the boy with the tarry, tarry trousers

Shine in my eye like the diamond bright

She hung her head on the top of her shoulders

Tears from her eyes like the fountains flowed

I’ll stay at home and be true-hearted

Whilst my love to the seas doth go

Hark, O hark, how the great guns are a-rattling

Big and small, they all make noise

My true love’s in the field of battle

Now fight on, my gallant boys
