Subject: Lyr Add: THE NIGHTINGALE'S SONG From: Bruce O. Date: 04 Jan 98 - 07:33 PM Here's a version of 1682-4 The Nightingales Song; Or The Souldiers rare Musick,
As I went forth one Sun-shining Day,
With kisses and compliments, to her he said
And now if you pleased be, I will you bring,
Sweet Sir (said the Damosel) If you will do so,
And having thus spoken, together they went,
A danty clear river, was running them by,
The Maid seem'd unwilling, and said she'd be gone,
Amongst the sweet flowers they Straightway sat down,
And having thus done, he took her about the middle,
Then now said the Souldier 'tis time to give ore,
He struck up his musick, unto a high strain,
Their sport being ended, then homeward they went,
At last with a deep sigh, these words spake she,
Oh no, quoth the Souldier, I may not do so,
You Maides of the City, and Country that be,
Make bargain before hand, for fear you miscarry,

Subject: One Morning in May... From: Paul Jay Date: 04 Jan 98 - 05:58 PM I'm looking for the words to a song that (I think) James Taylor recorded in the early 70's or late 60's. The verses I remember are:
One morning, one morning, one morning in May,
Good morning, good morning, good morning, said he, |
