Streams Of Nancy
O the Streams Of loevly Nancy divide in three parts
Where the young men and maidens they meet their sweethearts
It's the drinking of good liquor that makes my heart sing
And the noise in the valley make the rocks for to ring.
At the top of this mountain my love's castle stands
And it's overbuilt with ivory on yonder black sand
Fine arches, fine porches like diamonds so bright
It's a beacon for a sailor on a dark winter's night.
On yonder high mountain the wild fowl do fly
And it's one in amongst them
that files very high
If I had them in my hands mere diamonds per grand
And soon I would secure her by the sleight of my hand.
Songtexte
---
At the base of this mountain a river runs clear
And a ship from the Indies it once anchored there.
With her red flags a-flying the beating of her drum
Sweet instruments of music and the firin' of her gun.
O the streams of lovely Nancy divide in three parts
Where the young men and maidens they meet their sweethearts
It's the drinking of good liquor that makes my heart sing
And the noise in the valley make the rocks for to ring.
