The Constant Lovers - Kate Rusby
A sailor courted a farmer's daughter that lived convenient to the Isle of Man
And mark good people what followed after
A long time courting and nothing done
A long time courting but still discoursing of things concerning the ocean wide
He said 'My darling at our next meeting if you'll be constant
I'll make you my bride '
As for sailors I don't admire them because they sails in so many parts
First they love you and then they slight you
And leave you behind with a broken heart
Don't say so my dearest jewel I never intended to serve you so
I have once more to cross the ocean you know my darling that I must go
The news was carried unto his mother before he set one foot on board
That he was courting a farmer's daughter whose aged parents could not afford
One penny portion down to the ocean like one distracted his mother ran
If you don't forsake her your bride not make her
I will dosown you to be my son
Mother Mother you're in a passion I'm sorry you have spoke too late
Don't you remember in your first beginning
My father married you from a servant maid
Don't you despise her I mean to rise her
As my own father to you has done
And I will take my bride I'll make her you may disown me to be your son
When his truelove she heard the story straight to the ocean then she did run
Saying in a passion you need not mind her
We shall have money when they have none
Money or not you are my lot
You have my heart and my free good will
And I will take my bride I'll make you
Let my scolding mother say what she will
The sailor married his farmer's daughter they live contented in the Isle of Man
And mark good people what followed after a long time courting and all was done
A long time courting and still discoursing of things concerning the ocean wide
He said my darling my dearest jewel I love dearly my constant bride
Constant bride constant bride my constant bride
