[00:00.000] 作词 : Traditional
[00:00.186]Adieu lovely Nancy, for now I must leave you,
[00:08.640]To the far-off West Indies I'm bound for to steer.
[00:15.849]But let my long journey be of no trouble to you,
[00:23.603]For, my love, I'll return in the course of a year.
[00:35.603]Talk not of leaving me here lovely Jimmy,
[00:42.842]Talk not of leaving me here on the shore.
[00:50.117]You know very well your long absence will grieve me,
[00:57.356]As you sail the wild ocean where the wild billows roar.
[01:07.849]I'll cut off my ringlets all curly and yellow,
[01:15.100]I'll dress in the coats of a young cabin boy,
[01:22.095]And while we are out on that dark, rolling ocean,
[01:29.594]I will always be near you, my pride and my joy.
[01:40.108]Your lily-white hands, they could not handle the cables.
[01:47.103]Your lily-white feet to the top mast could not go.
[01:54.109]And the cold winter storms, well you could not endure them.
[02:01.605]Stay at home, lovely Nancy, where the wild winds won't blow.
[02:28.799]As Jimmy set a-sailing, lovely Nancy stood a wailing,
[02:36.053]The tears from her eyes in great torrents did flow.
[02:43.054]As she stood on the beach oh her hands she was wringing,
[02:50.054]Crying, "Oh and alas, will I e'er see you more?"
[03:00.310]As Jimmy was a-walking on the quays of Philadelphia
[03:08.050]The thoughts of his true love, they filled him with pride
[03:14.309]He said, "Nancy, lovely Nancy, if I had you here, love
[03:21.798]How happy I'd be for to make you my bride"
[03:32.048]So Jimmy wrote a letter to his own lovely Nancy
[03:38.806]Saying, "If you have proved constant, well, I will prove true"
[03:46.048]Oh but Nancy was dying, for her poor heart was broken
[03:53.550]Oh the day that he left her, forever he'd rue
[04:03.803]Come all of you maidens, I pray, take a warning
[04:10.804]And don't trust a sailor boy or any of his kind
[04:17.803]For first they will court you and then they'll deceive you
[04:25.558]For their love, it is tempestuous as the wavering wind
