Sylvie

Lyrics for Sylvie

As Sylvie was walking down by the riverside As Sylvie was walking down by the riverside And looking so sadly looking so sadly looking so sadly All upon the swift tide She thought on her lover that left her in pride She thought on her lover that left her in pride On the banks of the meadow On the banks of the meadow On the banks of the meadow She sat down and cried And as she sat weeping a young man came by And as she sat weeping a young man came by What ails you my jewel What ails you my jewel What ails you my jewel And makes you to cry Well I once had a sweetheart and now I have none I once had a sweetheart and now I have none He's gone and leave me Gone and leave me Gone and leave me In sorrow to mourn Last night in sweet slumber I dreamed that I did see Last night in sweet slumber I dreamed that I did see Mine own dearest true love Mine own dearest true love Mine own dearest true love Come smiling to me But when I awokened I found it not so But when I awokened I found it not so Mine eyes were like fountains Mine eyes were like fountains Mine eyes were like fountains Where the waters do flow I'll set sail of silver and steer towards the sun I'll set sail of silver and steer towards the sun And my false love will weep My false love will weep My false love will weep For me after I'm gone.
