II. Limehouse Reach歌词完整版
Now, I fell in love with a Limehouse lass,
But she has proved untrue:
She looked as fresh as a figurehead
That’s just been painted new:
But she’s took and married a lighterman,
So it’s time for me to go,
But I would have loved you so, my dear,
I would have loved you so!
Oh, a shake o’the foresheet pays for all
That a sailor leaves behind,
For an alehouse shot, and a friend forgot,
And a sweetheart false or kind.
And a bloomin’mudhook’s off the ground,
For it’s time for us to go:
But I would have loved you so, my dear,
I would have loved you so!
Now a long goodbye to Limehouse Reach,
And a last goodbye to you:
A feller’s a fool to die for love,
Which I don’t mean to do.
There are girls as smart in every port
From here to Callao
But I would have loved you so, my dear,
I would have loved you so!
Cicely Fox Smit
