Thomas Hall
So early, so early, so early one mornin'
As I was walkin' down the street
As those cold drops of rain were fallin'
This fair maiden I chanced to meet.
Good mornin', good mornin' my pretty little damsel
Do you think that you could fancy me?
Oh no, my fancy's on a brisk young farmer
Who has lately crossed the sea.
Oh, describe him, oh, describe him
Pray describe him unto me
Perhaps, some time, Lord, I might have seen him
Since I've lately crossed the sea.
Oh, he was tall and fair and handsome
He was honest, brave and kind
He had black hair, an' he wore it shingled
Oh , those pretty blue eyes were mine.
Yes, I saw him and I knew him
And his name was Thomas Hall
I saw a French cannon ball shot through him
Oh, the death that he did fall.
Surely, surely you're mistaken
Surely, surely, you are he
Just to convince you of this matter
There's the ring that I gave thee...
Thomas Hall
Tan temprano, tan temprano, tan temprano una mañana
Mientras caminaba por la calle
Mientras esas frías gotas de lluvia caían
Me encontré con esta bella doncella.
Buenos días, buenos días, mi linda damisela
¿Crees que podrías gustar de mí?
Oh no, mi interés está en un joven granjero activo
Que recientemente cruzó el mar.
Oh, descríbelo, oh, descríbelo
Por favor descríbemelo
Quizás, en algún momento, Señor, podría haberlo visto
Ya que recientemente crucé el mar.
Oh, era alto, justo y apuesto
Era honesto, valiente y amable
Tenía cabello negro, y lo llevaba corto
Oh, esos hermosos ojos azules eran míos.
Sí, lo vi y lo reconocí
Y su nombre era Thomas Hall
Vi cómo una bala de cañón francés lo atravesaba
Oh, la muerte en la que cayó.
Seguramente, seguramente estás equivocada
Seguramente, seguramente, tú eres él
Solo para convencerte de este asunto
Aquí está el anillo que te di.
