Two Constant Lovers

Intro Verse Now as I was a-walking down by the seashore Where the wind it did whistle and the waves they did roar There I heard a fair maid make a terrible sound Like the wind and the waves that did echo all around Crying, "Ohh, my love is gone He's the youth I adore And he's drowned And I never will see him no more" Verse She'd a voice like a nightingale, skin like a dove And the song that she sang, it was all about love And when I asked her to marry me, oh, marry me please But the answer she gave me, "My love's drowned in the seas" Crying, "Ohh, my love is gone He's the youth I adore And he's drowned And I never will see him no more" Verse So I said I had gold with silver beside On a coach and six horses, with me she could ride But she said, "I will not marry, nor prove you a wife I'll be constant and true all the days I have life" Crying, "Ohh, my love is gone He's the youth I adore And he's drowned And I never will see him no more" Instrumental Verse Then she flung her arms wide and she took a great leap From the cliffs that were high, to the billows so deep Saying, "The rocks of the ocean shall be my deathbed And the shrimps of the sea shall swim over my head" Crying, "Ohh, my love is gone He's the youth I adore And he's drowned And I never will see him no more" Verse And now every night at six bells they appear When the moon shines bright and the stars they are clear These two constant lovers with each other's charms Rolling over and over in each other's arms Crying, "Ohh, my love is gone He's the youth I adore And he's drowned And I never will see him no more And I never will see him no more And I never will see him no more"
