Subject: Lyr Add: OH MY LOVE'S GONE (Sussex) From: Ricky Rackin Date: 09 Mar 97 - 12:13 AM Surely one of my favorites!! Heard back in '71 from Cyril Tawney at the Bridge Inn in Newcastle. Probably from the Copper family originally, but this is a slightly different version from the one in their recently published family songbook: As I was a-walking down by the seashore Where the wind and the waves and the waters do roar There I heard a sad voice make a pitiful sound Of the wind and the waves and the waters all 'round Cho: Crying: oh my love's gone, he's the youth I adore He's gone and I never shall see him no more She'd a voice like a nightingale, her skin like a dove And the song that she sang it was all about love I asked her to marry me, marry me please but the answer she gave:my love's drowned in the sea I told her I'd gold and I'd silver besides And a coach and 6 horses and with me she'd ride No I never will marry, nor be any man's wife I'll be true to my love as long as I've life Then she stretched forth her arms and made a great leap From the rocks that were high to the water so deep Saying the shells of the oysters shall make me a bed And the shrimps in the ocean wriggle over my head Now every night at 8 bells they appear When the moon it is shining and the waters are clear These 2 constant lovers with all their young charms Rollin' over and over and locked in love's arms |
