Luyện nghe bài hát Willie Archer

O as I was a-walking by yon mill-town,
The fair and lovely they did me surround;
'Twas there I saw a fair maid, and to me she grand;
She was plucking roses on the banks of the Bann.

So I up to this fair one, and to her I did say,
"Since nature has us for to meet on this day --
Since nature has formed us, won't you give me hand,
And we will walk together on the of the Bann."

Now it being a summer's evening and a quiet place,
I knew by the blushes appeared on her face....
We both lay together unto a bed of sand,
And she rolled into my arms on the of the Bann.

"O man, you have wronged me; won't you tell me your name,
That when my babe is born I may it the same?"
"My name is Archer, and I'd have you understand
That my and habitation lie close by the Bann.

"But I cannot marry you, for I'm bound
To the spinning and the in Rathfriland town.
But when my time is I will give you my hand
And we be married on the banks of the Bann."

So all you fair maidens, take warning by me:
Don't go out at one, two, or three.
go out a-courting so late if you can,
Or you'll meet with Willie Archer on the of the Bann.
