[00:02.26]Songs Title:william and davy
[00:11.37]William and Davy were born in one hall
[00:15.17]They grew side by side, as they grew strong and tall
[00:19.60]Shared most things, only quarrelled now and then
[00:23.11]In twenty years they were fine young men
[00:26.85]In twenty years they were fine young men
[00:32.27]William and Davy their hearts have been won
[00:35.90]For each young man she's the very same one
[00:39.69]Her eyes are blue she has soft and snowy skin
[00:43.94]A fairer maiden there never has been
[00:47.93]A fairer maiden there never has been
[00:59.98]Said William to Davy this girl I must wed
[01:03.65]She fills my dreams like she fills my head
[01:07.71]Please be kind her true lover I'll be him
[01:11.65]And around the ocean I'm willing to swim
[01:15.25]And around the ocean I'm willing to swim
[01:19.56]Oh dearest William you must play fair
[01:23.37]She's in my heart and she will always be there
[01:27.17]And I am sure that she loves me more than thee
[01:31.30]In her arms I soon will be
[01:35.05]In her arms I soon will be
[01:57.77]Said William to Davy, away let us ride
[02:09.50]Unto her we will stand side by side
[02:13.56]There she'll choose who she'll love and who she'll wed
[02:17.43]And who will lie with her in her bed
[02:21.42]Who will lie with her in her bed
[02:26.84]The brothers they rode through wind and through rain
[02:30.52]Each of them her heart for to gain
[02:34.03]They rode until they were standing at her door
[02:38.08]Their bellies empty, their hearts were sore
[02:42.08]Their bellies empty, their hearts were sore
[02:53.17]Then swiftly the maiden she opened the door
[02:56.55]Young William and Davy, come round here no more
[03:00.30]Wed I am, oh and happy I will be
[03:04.23]Gold and silver he gave to me
[03:07.97]Gold and silver he gave to me
[03:20.01]William and Davy were born in one hall
[03:23.81]They both rode side by side and they never did stall
[03:27.62]They both have lost the girl that they adore
[03:31.69]Their bellies empty, their hearts still sore
[03:35.55]Their bellies empty, their hearts still sore
[03:42.47]
