  • Testi: As I roved out one evening fair It bein' the summertime to take the air I spied a maiden and a sailor bold And I stood to listen And I stood to listen to hear what they might say. He said "Fair maid, why do you roam On yonder lea and all alone?” She heaved a sigh and the tears did roll "For my dark-eyed sailor For my dark-eyed sailor, he plows the stormy sea." "'Tis seven long years since he left this land A ring he took off from his lily-white hand One half of the ring is still here with me But the other is rollin' But the other is rollin' at the bottom of the sea." He said "You fair maid you must dry your eyes Some other young man you will surely find For love turns aside and soon cold has grown Like a winter's morning Like a winter's morning when the fields are clad in snow." She said "I will never forsake my dear Although we’ve been parted this many a year Gentle was he, not a rake like you Who’d induce a maiden Who’d induce a maiden to slight the jacket blue." Then one half of the ring did young William show She ran distracted in grief and woe Sayin' "William, oh William, I have gold in store For my dark-eyed sailor For my dark-eyed sailor he has come home again”

Informazioni su Will Taylor

Will Taylor

I'm Will Taylor. I arrived in Austin in 1973 and spent summers swimming at Barton Springs, played shirtless in the garden of the infamous Armadillo World Headquarters, lived two blocks from the Rome Inn where Stevie Ray Vaughan played the blues weekly.

I graduated from Austin High and studied viola performance at the UT School of Music in 1987 while playing jazz fusion in 6th street clubs on the weekend.

The music scene has drastically changed ...
