letra de the banks of the nile - fay hield
“hark, i hear the drums a-beating and love i must away
i hear the bugles calling me, i can no longer stay
we are bound down to portsmouth town, it’s many’s a weary mile
to join the british army on the banks of the nile.”
“william, dearest william, don’t leave me here to mourn
you’ll make me curse and rue the day that ever i was born
i will cut off my curly locks and come along with you
i’ll dress myself in velveteen and go to egypt too.”
“nancy, lovely nancy, with me you cannot go
our colonel’s given orders: no women arе to go
we must forget our own sweethearts all on our nativе isle
and fight for king and country on the banks of the nile.”
“cursed be the wars, my love, and how they first began
for they have robbed old ireland of many’s a brave young man
they’ve taken our own sweethearts all from our native isle
and their bodies lie a-mouldering on the banks of the nile.”
“when the wars are over, it’s home we will return
back to our wives and our sweethearts we left behind at home
we’ll roll them in our arms all for a little while
and go no more to battle on the banks of the nile.”
