A Nobleman's Wedding歌詞

[00:11.837]Lately last night, I was asked to a wedding
[00:22.668]The wedding of a fair maid who proved to me unkind
[00:33.184]For that day as she thought of her intended young lover
[00:44.934]Thoughts of her old one had run through her mind
[00:56.306]Supper being over and all things were ended
[01:07.563]Every young man was to sing a fine song
[01:17.904]Until it came to the turn of her own foreign lover
[01:29.571]And the song that he sang to the bride did belong
[01:41.107]How can you sit at another man's table?
[01:52.481]How can you drink of another man's wine?
[02:03.276]How can you lie in the arms of another?
[02:14.990]Many's the night, love, that you lay in mine
[02:29.696]Many's the one has been seven years parted
[02:40.505]Seven years parted and did return again
[02:51.332]But I have only been two years away, love
[03:02.837]Two years away, love, and did return again
[03:20.017]The bride, she was seated at the head of the table
[03:31.193]Very well she knew to whom the song did belong
[03:42.238]Her heart, it grew faint, she could stand it no longer
[03:53.850]Down at the feet of the bridegroom she fell
[04:07.892]Sobbing and sighing she rose from the table
[04:19.135]Sobbing and sighing she went to her bed
[04:30.222]Early next morning the bridegroom awakened
[04:41.768]He turned to embrace her and found she was dead
[04:55.877]Saying, "Annie, dear Annie, I knew you never loved me
[05:07.034]My love and your love could never agree
[05:18.277]For I knew all along that your poor heart was breaking
[05:29.805]All for the sake of a foreign young man"
[05:41.131]So now I must wear a frock of deep mourning
[05:52.585]A frock of deep mourning, one, two and three
[06:03.804]I must wear to her wake my own wedding garment
[06:15.929]Ne'er again shall I go between the bark and the tree
