Jonathan Rathbone) - The Swingle Singers (史温格歌手) [00:15.01]Down yonder green valley where streamlets meander [00:21.28]When twilight is fading, I pensively rove [00:28.17] [00:33.33]Or at the bright noontide in solitude wander [00:39.70]Amid the dark shades of the lonely ash grove. [00:46.32] [00:58.16]twas there while the blackbird was joyfully singing [01:04.61]I first met my dear one, the joy of my heart [01:12.24]Around us for gladness the bluebells were ringing [01:19.33]Ah! then little thought I how soon we should part. [01:30.12] [01:42.53]Still grows the bright sunshine oer valley and mountain [01:49.38]Still warbles the blackbird his note from the tree [01:56.42]Still trembles the moonbeam on streamlet and fountain [02:03.25]But what are the beauties of nature to me. [02:11.15] [02:19.13]With sorrow, deep sorrow, my bosom is laden [02:25.85]All day I go mourning in search of my love. [02:32.79] [02:39.65]Ye echoes, o tell me, where is the sweet maiden? [02:46.51]She sleeps neath the green turf down by the ash grove.
