[00:00.00]Blackbird - Cécile Corbel
[00:07.76]I am a young maiden my story is sad
[00:15.57]For once I was carefree and in love with a lad
[00:23.71]He courted me sweetly by night and by day
[00:31.65]But now he has left me and gone far away
[00:39.53]Oh if I was a blackbird could whistle and sing
[00:47.45]I'd follow the vessel my true love sails in
[00:55.69]And in the top rigging I would there build my nest
[01:03.52]And I'd flutter my wings to his broad golden chest
[01:27.82]He sailed over the ocean his fortune to seek
[01:35.69]I missed his caresses and his kiss on my cheek
[01:43.72]Oh if I was a blackbird could whistle and sing
[01:51.50]I'd follow the vessel my true love sails in
[01:59.71]And in the top rigging I would there build my nest
[02:07.68]And I'd flutter my wings to his broad golden chest
[02:15.71]Then he offered to marry and to stay by my side
[02:23.60]But then in the morning he sailed with the tide
[02:33.83]I am a young maiden my story is sad
[02:41.47]Oh if I was a blackbird could whistle and sing
[02:49.61]I'd follow the vessel my true love sails in
[02:57.68]And in the top rigging I would there build my nest
[03:05.80]And I'd flutter my wings to his broad golden chest
