letra de the plains of waterloo - kate rusby & kathryn roberts

[verse 1]
come all you loyal lovers, i pray you to draw near
to lie and eye a verse or two i mean to let you hear
in the praises of a worthy youth who’s honest, fair, and true
who fought through spain and portugal and fell at waterloo
the young man that i sing about was proper tall and trim
his body like the wax work, there’s few could equal him
his cheeks they were a rosy red, his eyes the deep, dark blue
with my charming fair, none could compare on the plains of waterloo

[verse 2]
when the fight was at its fiercest they fought with hеarts and will
when guns did loudly rattle and shot and sh-ll did k!ll
my lovе he fell a victim ‘mongst the thousands that they’d slew
far from his own to hear him moan on the plains of waterloo
my love he lay the whole night long, my love he lay in pain
when the war was spread he raised his head and daylight came again
when that his comrades found him ‘mongst the thousands that they’d slew
he discoursed, my love, an hour or more on the plains of waterloo

[soprano saxophone solo]

[verse 3]
“farewell my comrades, likewise to my sweetheart”
these were the very words he said and then he did depart
they dug my love a silent grave, the tears they were not few
and they laid him in the cold clay on the plains of waterloo
the more he’s gone and left me, no other will i take
through lonesome woods and shady groves i wander for his sake
through lonesome woods and shady groves i’ll wander through and through
and i’ll mourn for him that’s dead upon the plains of waterloo
