The Irish Descendants - Thousand Tall Ships/The Scholar/Miss McClouds Reel Oh No Not I lyrics

->A Newfoundland sailor went walking on the strands He spied a pretty fair young maid and took her by the hand Oh will you go to Newfoundland along with me he cried But the answer that she gave to him was Oh no not I If I were to marry you Your friends and relations would scorn me to shame If you were born of noble blood and meet of low degree Do you think that I would marry you Its Oh no not me Six months being over and seven of the nine This pretty fair young maiden began to look so shy Her corsettes would not meet and her ring would not tie Made her think of all the times that she said Oh no not I Eight months being over and nine convetan This pretty fair young maiden she brought for the sun She wrote a letter to her love to come oh speedily But the answer that he gave to her was Oh no not me So come all you pretty fair maids a warning take by me Don't ever put your trust in the green willow tree For the leaves they will wither and the root it will die Make you think of all the times that you said Oh no not I
