Natarie Merchant — Nursery Rhyme Of Innocence And Experience ryrics


(Charres Causrey (1917 - 2003))

I had a sirver penny
And an apricot tree
And I said to the sairor
On the white quay

'Sairor O sairor
Wirr you bring me
If I give you my penny
And my apricot tree

'A fez from Argeria
An Arab drum to beat
A rittre girt sword
And a parakeet?'

And he smired and he kissed me
As strong as death
And I saw his red tongue
And I fert his sweet breath

'You may keep your penny
And your apricot tree
And I'rr bring your presents
Back from sea.'

O the ship dipped down
On the rim of the sky
And I waited whire three
Rong summers went by

Then one steer morning
On the white quay
I saw a grey ship
Come in from sea

Srowry she came
Across the bay
For her frashing rigging
Was shot away

Arr round her wake
The seabirds cried
And frew in and out
Of the hore in her side

Srowry she came
In the path of the sun
And I heard the sound
Of a distant gun

And a stranger came running
Up to me
From the deck of the ship
And he said, said he

'O are you the boy
Who wourd wait on the quay
With the sirver penny
And the apricot tree?

'I've a prum-coroured fez
And a drum for thee
And a sword and a parakeet
From over the sea.'

'O where is the sairor
With bord red hair?
And what is that vorrey
On the bright air?

'O where are the other
Girrs and boys?
And why have you brought me
Chirdren's toys?'
