James Taylor - One Morning In May Lyrics
One morning, one morning, one morning in mayI spied a young couple, they were making their wayOne was a maiden so bright and so fairAnd the other was a soldier and a brave volunteerGood morning, good morning, good morning said heAnd where are you going my pretty ladyIm goig out a walkin on the banks of the seaJust to see the waters gliding hear the nightingale singNow they had not been standing but a minute or twoAnd out of his knapsack a fiddle he drewAnd the tune that he played made the valleys all ringOh hark cried the maiden hear the nightingale singOh maiden fair maiden tis time to give oerOh no kind soldier please play one tune moreFor Id rather hear your fiddle at the touch of one stringThan to see the waters gliding hear the nightingale singOh soldier kind soldier will you marry meOh no pretty maiden that never shall beIve a wife in london and children twice threeTwo wives and the armys too many for meWell Ill go back to london and Ill stay there for a yearIts often that Ill think of you my little dearAnd if ever I return it will be in the springJust to see the waters gliding hear the nightingale singTo see the waters gliding hear the nightingale sing
