she courted him dearly by night and by day until young sailor he sailed miles away. And if I was a blackbird i'd whistle and sing I'd follow the ship that my true love sailed in And on the top ringing I'd there build my nest like an eagle i would fly to his lily white breast
Beautiful! It's interesting to hear the lyrics from a female perspective. The version I've heard is a man singing about his lost lady love and uses "lily white breast" instead of "broad golden chest" etc. It does change the story slightly since in that version he asks her to marry him and she leaves, whereas in this version he asks her to marry him and then *he* leaves.
She had the voice of an angel, I want a download of this song!!!

Wow. It's hard to find to find videos of live performances of this quality (except among the bigger names.)

I once knew a maiden, who fourtune was so
she courted a sailor, a young sailor boy
she courted him dearly by night and by day until young sailor he sailed miles away. And if I was a blackbird i'd whistle and sing I'd follow the ship that my true love sailed in And on the top ringing I'd there build my nest like an eagle i would fly to his lily white breast
And if I was a scholar who could handle a pen
i would write him a letter him I'd send
i would tell him my sorrows

Her voice is magical, pure and clear as a bell. I was hoping she would play the harp also.

The person who disliked this does not know what beauty is, and has never known heart break.

Hauntingly beautiful. You have a lovely voice Siobhán.
Only now and then you hear a voice that stirs the soul, your's certainly does that.
Best wishes for the future.
