Вступление
[Verse 1]
In Bodmin Town there lived a maid
My innocent heart she had betrayed,
I ne'er was wounded so before
And yet I love her more and more.
[Verse 2]
In Bodmin street when I did pass
I saw my fair maid through the glass
All dress'd in ribbons bright and gay
She lovelier looked than flowers in May.
[Verse 3]
In Bodmin Town where we did meet
We joined our hands with kisses sweet
I rung my hands did sadly cry
Without your love I’d rather die
[Verse 4]
In Bodmin Town her father knew
She loved me both fine and true
He locked her in a chamber high
That I to her might come not by
[Verse 5]
To Bodmin town I came at night
And to her door betook me straight
Come down! come down! and let me in
Your own true love pulls at the pin
[Verse 6]
She rose from bed and down she came
She opened the door and let me in
I’m glad to see you my love she cried
Since you’ve been gone my father’s died
[Verse 7]
In Bodmin Town the bells did ring
For we were married in the Spring
I ne’re was happy so before
And still I love her more and more
