Jon English-Six Ribbons-Against The Wind-

If I were a minstrel I'd sing you six lo-ove songs
To tell the whole world of the lo-ove that we share
If I were a merchant I'd bring you six diamonds
With six blood red roses for my-y love to wear

But I am a simple man, a poor common farmer
So take my six ribbons to tie back your hair
Yellow and brown, blue as the sky
Red as my blood, green as your eyes

If I were a nobleman I'd bring you six carriages
With six snow white horses to take you anywhere
If I were the emperor (yellow and brown)
I'd build you six palaces (blue as the sky)
With six hundred servants (red as my blood)
For comforting fare (green as your eyes)

But I am a simple man, a poor common far-armer
So take my six ribbons to tie back your hair

If I were a minstrel I'd sing you six lo-ove songs
To tell the whole world of the lo-ove that we share
So be not afraid my love, you're never alo-one love
While you wear my ribbons tyin' back your hair

Once I was a simple man, a poor common farmer
I gave you six ribbons to tie back your hair
Too-ra-lee, too-ra-lie, all I can share
Is only six ribbons, tyin' back your hair
(Too-ra-lee, too-ra-lie, all I can share)
I gave you six ribbons to tie-ie back your hair

the funny thing is,the series is so famous in Iran but in Australia nobody i've seen even know about it, and they don't know about real John and Mary. I just saw an image of their family gathering in jail Museum. Anyway the series and its characters are awesome. thank you for the clip...good memories

Wow, that's an amazing song. <3 I really want to see the series - my parents said it was great. It doesn't seem to be available in South Africa, maybe it's somewhere on DVD in Australia...
