Generate meaning
1
As I walked out one morning
2
In the springtime of the year
3
I overheard a sailor boy
4
Likewise a lady fair
5
They sang a song together
6
Made the valleys for to ring
7
While the birds on the spray in the meadows gay
8
Proclaimed the lovely spring
9
Said Willy unto Nancy
10
Oh we soon must sail away
11
For its lovely on the water
12
To hear the music play
13
For our Queen she do want seamen
14
So I will not stay on shore
15
I will brave the wars for my country
16
Where the blund'ring cannons roar
17
Poor Nancy fell and fainted
18
But soon he brought her to
19
For it's there they kissed and there embraced
20
And took a fond adieu
21
Come change your ring with me my love
22
For we may meet once more
23
But there's one above that will guard you love
24
Where the blund'ring cannons roar
25
For pounds it is our bounty
26
And that must do for thee
27
But to help the aged parents
28
While I am on the sea
29
For Tower Hill is crowded
30
With mother's weeping sore
31
For their sons are gone to face the war Where the blundering cannons roar
