Nic Jones - William of Winesbury lyrics

As I looked over the castle wall For to see what I could see Oh it was there I spied my own father's ship Come a-sailing along the sea Come a-sailing along the sea Oh what's the matter of my daughter Jane That you do look so wan? Oh have you had any ill sickness Or been courting with some young man? Or been courting with some young man? Oh no I haven't had any ill sickness Or been courting with any young man But I have been sick and sick to my heart Since you've been so long at sea Since you've been so long at sea Oh, was it any noble knight? Or was it any gentleman? Or was it by chance some rakish lad That has just returned from Spain?" That has just returned from Spain?" Oh no it wasn't any noble knight Nor was it any gentleman But I have been courted by young William And he's one of your serving men Yes he's one of your serving men And will you marry my daughter Jane? And will you take her by the hand? And this night you will sup and dine with me And you'll be heir to all my land You'll be heir to all my land Oh yes I'll marry your daughter Jane And I'll take her by the hand And this night I'll sup and dine with you But not for all your lands But not for all your lands I have houses and I have have lands And I've many at my command And had it not been for your daughter Jane Then I was never a serving man I was never a serving man
