The Setting Of The Sun - Seth Lakeman

作曲：Seth Lakeman/Traditional

Come all young fellows that carry a gun

Beware of late shooting when the

Daylight is done

It is my reckoning that many hazards

They may run

I shot my true love at the setting of the

Sun

In a shower of rain my darling did lie

All under the bushes to keep herself dry

Her head in her apron I thought her as a

Swan

I shot my true love at the setting of the

Sun

I'll fly from my country I nowhere find my

Rest

Because I've shot my own true love like

A bird upon her nest

Like lead in my heart lies the deed that I

Have done

I shot my true love at the setting of the

Sun

In the night my fair maid as a white swan

Appears

She she says Oh my true love quickly

Dry up those tears

I freely forgive you for this paradise that

I've won

I was shot by my true love at the rising

Of the sun

The years they pass leave me lonely and

Sad

I can never love again `cause none

Make me glad

I'll wait and expect you until my work

Down here is done

Then I'll meet my true love at the setting

Of the sun
