Lisbon Lyrics by Percy Grainger

Lincolnshire Posy

1937

'Twas on a Monday morning, all in the month of May
Our ship she weighed her anchor, all for to sail away;
The wind did from the southwest blow
For Lisbon we were bound
The hills and dales were covered
With pretty young girls around

I wrote a letter to Nancy, for her to understand
That I should have to leave her, unto some foreign land
She said, My dearest William
These words will break my heart
Oh let us married be tonight, sweet Willie
Before you start
