The Troubadour Song - The Bear Sisters at 2011 FSGW Getaway

LYRICS: Do you happen to know of a maiden in need
Of a sweetheart? Here's one who is anxious to please.
It's a shame that a handsome young fellow like me
Should be left while the nightingale sings in the tree.
(Repeat last 2 lines)

In the wood and the meadow beneath the bright moon
Every lad with his lass makes the most of the June.
The world's gone a-wooing, excepting of me,
And the nightingale sings to his mate in the tree. (Repeat last 2 lines.)

The time, it is ripe, there is none I can spare,
And the nightingale's song will soon die in the air.
Don't you think, dearest Phyllis, you'd better agree
To make love while the nightingale sings in the tree? (Repeat last 2 lines.)

Sung by sisters Claire Beorn Norman (ClaireBear) and her sister Frieda Rosenberg at the Sunday night concert at the Folklore Society of Greater Washington (FSGW) Getaway in Maryland (at West River Center), October 2, 2010.
