The Banks of Tyne

As I walk'd out one summers day to view the fields so green,
The bushes they were in full bloom so lovely to be seen;
When posey bushes was adorn'd so brightly they did shine,
There I met my lovely Nancy down by the banks of Tyne.

and with a joyfull harmony she made the valley's ring,
The lofty larks descending when this maid begun to sing,
The pretty little small birds in chorus they did join,
Oh they fill'd the air with melody all round the banks of Tyne.

Her hair was like the links of gold this charming beauty bright,
Her eyes did glance like diamonds on the shining stars of night,
I says my pretty fair maid if that you will be mine,
Oh we'll spend our days in harmony all on the banks of Tyne.

Oh she says my jolly sailor bold how can you make so free,
I think by your appearance you've lately come from sea,
Come sit you down along with me if that you do incline,
For I love a sailor's company all on the banks of Tyne.

For once I lov'd a sailor bold as ever cross'd the main,
He was proper tall and handsome I think you are the same;
Oh yes my lovely Nancy with hand in hand we'll join,
And we'll have a peace and unity all round the banks of tyne.

When in the midst of danger all round on every side,
Where cannon-balls did fly like hail all on the ocean wide,
I was thinking on my Nancy, the girl I left behind,
That I should see my own true love all on the banks of Tynbe.

Come come my lovely Nancy to church let us away
And we will quickly married be without the least delay:
And afterwards my own true love we'll crown the day with wine,
And we'll a joyfull night my love all on the banks of Tyne.
