[00:00.00]时代音乐网 www.78497.com  [00:07.42]I once loved a beautiful maiden [00:11.93]As fair as the blue skies above [00:16.39]And each night as we wandered together [00:21.04]The moon seemed to smile on our love [00:25.54]We vowed to be true to each other [00:30.06]That nothing could cause us to part [00:34.52]But we never once dreamed that the future [00:39.10]Held only a broken heart [00:43.72]Then there came the night when we parted [00:48.03]We quarreled as all sweethearts do [00:52.60]And I learned what it was to be jealous [00:57.20]When they told me her love was untrue [01:01.77]She told me she had always been faithful [01:06.28]She swore that her love could not die [01:10.79]And then when I did not believe her [01:15.26]She kissed me and told me goodbye [01:20.05]Oh-de-lay-ee-oh  de-lay-ee  yo-de-lay-ee [01:35.91]I found I had falsely accused her [01:40.54]And went back to make her my bride [01:45.18]And there in the door stood her mother [01:49.58]She told me my sweetheart had died [01:54.19]I went in and knelt down beside her [01:58.81]And there in the hush of that room [02:03.13]I prayed that my maker would take me [02:07.93]And send my soul down to its doom [02:12.49]So now I have told you the reason [02:17.29]There's always a tear in my eye [02:21.75]Through long weary years I've repented [02:26.43]But I'm longing to lay down and die [02:30.97]And I wonder if I'll be forgiven [02:35.64]When I face the master someday [02:40.16]And I wonder if I'll see my sweetheart [02:44.47]On that beautiful shore far away [02:49.33]Oh-de-lay-ee-oh  de-lay-ee  yo-de-lay-ee
