Cherish The Ladies - Bonny Blue-Eyed Nancy lyrics

How could I live on the top of a mountain? With no money in my pocket, no gold for the counting For I would let the money go, all for to please her fancy And I would marry no one but my own dear blue-eyed Nancy She's my bonny blue-eyed la**ie with an air so sweet and tender Her walk like swans on water and her waist so small and slender Her golden hair in ringlets fell all o'er her snow-white shoulder And I'll ask her for to marry me, and there's no man could be bolder Now there's some people say she is very low in station And there's more people say she'll be the cause of my ruination But let them all say what they will, to her I will prove constant still 'Til the day that I die, she will be my own lovely lady How lightly skims the swallow o'er the dark waters of Eochaill And blithely sings the nightingale so happy to behold her And the winds may blow, and the moorco*ks crow, and the moon shine out so clearly O Ah but deeper by far is my love for my own lady Well, now there's some people tell me that she is very low in station And there's more people say she'll be the cause of my ruination But let them all say what they will, to her I will prove constant still 'Til the day that I die, she will be my own lovely lady
