Lyrics

[short instrumental intro] [female singer] One mornin’, one mornin’, one mornin’ in May, Oh, I saw a fair couple a-makin’ their way, And one was a lady, A lady so fair. The other a soldier, A brave volunteer. [guitar solo] “Good mornin’, good mornin’, good mornin’ to thee, Oh, where are you goin’, my pretty lady?” “Oh, I am a-goin’ to the banks of the sea To see waters glidin’, Hear the nightingale sing.” [short guitar solo] They hadn’t been standin’ A minute or two, When out of his knapsack A fiddle he drew. And the tune that he played Made the violin ring, Made the waters go glidin’ Made the nightingale sing. [violin solo] “Brave soldier, kind soldier, Will you marry me?” “Oh, no, pretty lady,” “That never could be. I’ve a true love in London Who’s waitin’ for me. Two loves in the army’s Too many for me. [guitar, violin solo] [guitar, violin solo] “I’ll go back to London And stay there a year. And often I’ll dream of you, My little dear. And if ‘ere I returned Will be in the spring, To see waters glidin’, Hear the nightingale sing.” [refrain] [end]
