If I Was A Blackbird
作詞:Cleavant Derricks
I am a young sailor, my story is sad [Incomprehensible]once I was carefree and a brave sailor lad I courted a lassie by night and by day Ah, but now she has left me and sailed far away
Oh, if I was a blackbird, could whistle and sing I'd follow the vessel my true love sails in And in the top rigging, I would there build my nest And I'd flutter my wings over her lily-white breast
Or if I was a scholar and could handle a pen One secret love letter to my true love I'd send And I'd tell of my sorrow, my grief and my pain Since she's gone and left me in yon flowery glen
Oh, if I was a blackbird, could whistle and sing I'd follow the vessel my true love sails in And in the top rigging, I would there build my nest And I'd flutter my wings over her lily-white breast
I sailed over the ocean, my fortune to seek And though I missed her caress and her kiss on my cheek I returned and I told her my love was still warm But she turned away lightly and great was her scorn
Oh, if I was a blackbird, could whistle and sing I'd follow the vessel my true love sails in And in the top rigging, I would there build my nest And I'd flutter my wings over her lily-white breast
I offered to take her to Donnybrook Fair And to buy her fine ribbons to tie up her hair I offered to marry and to stay by her side But she says in the morning she sailed with the tide
Oh, if I was a blackbird, could whistle and sing I'd follow the vessel my true love sails in And in the top rigging, I would there build my nest And I'd flutter my wings over her lily-white breast
My parents they chide me and will not agree Saying that me and my false love, married should never be Ah, but let them deprive me or let them do what they will While there's breath in my body, she's the one that I love still
Oh, if I was a blackbird, could whistle and sing I'd follow the vessel my true love sails in And in the top rigging, I would there build my nest And I'd flutter my wings over her lily-white breast
