The Banks Of The Leopold Canal 歌词

Time is a ticking my love Can no longer stay Sounds of the alarms And I must go away Ordered out over seas For many a weary day To the banks, of a place they call Leopold Canal Oh, Willie, Sweet Willie Don't leave me here alone For I wish to God above, That I was never born Parting from you my love I'd rather be buried alive So stay home with me Sweet Willie And I'll be your loving wife Oh Annie, Sweet Annie Surely can not stay The government has ordered me And I must go away The government has ordered me Set up their command And I'm bound away my love For the Leopold Canal Cruel was the war When it first began Out of Canada We lost, many a man Out of Canada Men were battered and torn Thousands lay dead on Leopold's shore Sitting in the trenches Couldn't help but curse This cruel bloody war Had taken me from her Taken me from my sweet heart And the place where I loved to dwell And shipped me off to the bloody banks, Of the Leopold Canal Time is a ticking my love Can no longer stay Sounds of the alarms And I must go away Ordered out over seas For many a weary day To the banks, of a place they call Leopold Canal To the banks, of a place they call Leopold Canal To the banks, of a place they call Leopold Canal
