John Wesley Harding - William & Nancy's Parting Lyrics

Font:

Align:

Come all you pretty maidens that have a mind to go

All along with your lover for to face the daring foe

Ive a mind to venture where the cannonballs do fly

All along with my love Ill go

He says my lovely nancy I hope youll not repine

For I must go onboard our noble fleet to join

Our orders are to sea my dear and now we must obey

And behind me you must stay

She says my lovely william oh dont you leave me here

Ill dress me as a seaman and along with you Ill steer

Oh let me go along with you your mess mate for to be

And Ill fight so manfully

He says my lovely nancy great danger is at sea

Perhaps we may be shipwrecked or else be cast away

And in the line of battle perhaps you may be slain

So behind me you must remain

your pretty little fingers they are so long and small

Youll think it but hard usage our cable ropes to haul

When the winds they do blow high and the billows loudly roar

At home you must be on shore

So now my love has gone abroad as I do tell you plain

Kind heaven shall protect him as hes ploughing on the main

Protect him from all danger where the cannonballs do fly

And send my william home again
