Текст (слова) песни: Clancy Brothers - Rockin The Cradle
Rockin` The Cradle On a bright summer`s evening I chanced to go roving Down by the clear river I rollicked along. I heard an old man making sad lamentation; He was rocking the cradle and the child not his own. cho: Hi ho, hi ho, my laddie lie aisy For perhaps your own daddy might never be known. I`m sitting and sighing and rocking the cradle, And nursin` the baby that`s none of my own. When first that I married your inconstant mother I thought myself lucky to be blessed with a wife. But for my misfortune, sure I was mistaken She`s proved both a curse and a plague on my life. She goes out every night to a ball or a party And leaves me here rockin` he cradle alone. The innocent laddie he calls me his daddy But little he knows that he`s none of my own. Now come all ye young men that`s inclined to get married Take my advice and let the women alone. For by the Lord Harry, if ever you marry They`ll leave you with a baby that`s none of your own. (or "and swear it`s your own".) Recorded by Clancys, Ian Cambell Folk Group, Ed Trickett, Buffy Ste.
