Luyện nghe bài hát Nantucket Girl's Song

Then I'll to wed a sailor and send him off to sea
For a life of independence is the pleasant for me
But every now and then I like to see his face
For it always to me to beam with a manly grace
With his so nobly open and his dark and kindly eye
Oh my heart fondly towards him whenever he is nigh
But he says goodbye me love I'm off across the sea
First I cry for his departure I laugh because I'm free

-- Eliza Brock, 18th Islander

Oh I'm a man handsome, I'm strapping and I'm young
And I gotta job to do, the job gets fuckin' done
I want a love to keep me I want a love that's true
And of all my endeavors if it's smitten then I'm with you
So I'll put on my buckle and and I'll comb up me hair
And I lighten up my belt and shirt so it's handsome appear
And work both day and night to keep the money rolling in
So I can back to my love, so I can see you again

Oh to walk the street or countryside whatever I may
I know that I will be O.K. where it is I go
So I'm I don't want children to follow at my feet
I'm happy by myself not chasing into the street
Oh I born for marrying for the game or for the blame
And my friends do call me I like hearing my own name
But he says goodbye my dear, I'm off across the sea
I cry for his departure, then I laugh because I'm free
