Crystal Spring Lyrics
Crystal Spring - Waterson:Carthy
Down by a crystal spring where the nightingale sing
Most pleasant it is in season to hear the groves ring
Down by a riverside a young captain I espied
Entreating of his true love for to be his bride
Dear phyllis says he can you fancy me
All in your soft bowers a crown it shall be
And you shall take no pain I will you maintain
My ship she's a loaded just come in from spain
Wherever you dine there you shall dream of mine
And so sweetly in the season when you will be mine
I do lay thee so well I'll maintain you so fair
As no lady in the navy with you can compare
If ever I prove false to my soft little girl
May the oceans turn desert and the elements move
For wherever I shall be I'll be constant to thee
My heart is all over if I rove through the sea
Down by a crystal spring where the nightingale sing
Most pleasant it is in season to hear the groves ring
Down by a riverside a young captain I espied
Entreating of his true love for to be his bride
