Tekst :
I am a young sailor, my story is sad,Though once I was carefree and a brave sailor lad,
I courted a lassie by night and by day,
Oh but now she has left me,
And sailed far away.
Oh, if I was a blackbird could whistle and sing,
I d follow the vessel my true love sails in,
And in the top riggin I would there build my next,
And I d flutter my wings o er her lilly white breast.
Or if I was a scholar and could handle the pen
Once secret love letter to my true love I d send
And tell of my sorrow, my grief and my pain
Since she s gone and left me
In yon flowery glen.
I sailed o er the ocean, my fortune to seek
Though I missed her caress and her kiss on my cheek
I returned and I told her my love was still warm
but she turned away lightly
And great was her scorn.
I offered to take her to Donnybrook Fair
And to buy her fine ribbons to tie up her hair
I offered to marry and to stay by her side
But she says in the morning
She sails with the tide.
My parents, they chide me, oh they will not agree
Saying that me and my false love, married should never be
Oh let them deprive me, or let them do what they will
While there s breath in my body
She s the one I love still.

If I was beautiful like youOh the things I would do
Those not so blessed would be crying out murder
And I d just laugh and get away with it too
Like you do
If I was beautiful like you
I would never be at fault
I d walk in the rain between the rain drops
Bringing traffic to a halt
But that would never be
Never, never be
Cause I m not beautiful like you
I m beautiful like me, I m beautiful like me
If I was beautiful like you
I d be quick to assume
They d do anything to please me, why not
I see their reaction when you walk into the room
But that would never be
Never, never, never be
Cause I m not beautiful like you
I m beautiful like me, beautiful like me
Beautiful, beautiful like me
Like me, Like me...
If I was beautiful like you
I d have so many friends
All fighting for my time to be next in line
So if I hurt one, I wouldn t have to make amends
But that would never be
Never, never, never be
Cause I m not beautful like you
I m not beautiful like you
I m not beautiful like you
I m beautiful like me
I m Beautiful like me, beautiful like me
I m beautiful like me, I m beautiful like me!

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonightIt must have been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
I keep looking for something I can t get
Broken hearts lie all around me
And I don t see an easy way to get out of this
Her diary it sits on the bedside table
The curtains are closed, the cats in the cradle
Who would ve thought that a boy like me could come to this
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must ve been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must ve been some kind of kiss
I should ve walked away
Is there any just cause for feeling like this?
On the surface I m a name on a list
I try to be discreet, but then blow it again
I ve lost and found, it s my final mistake
She s loving by proxy, no give and all take
cos I ve been thrilled to fantasy one too many times
Oh I, I just died in your arms...
It was a long hot night
She made it easy, she made it feel right
But now it s over the moment has gone
I followed my hands not my head, I know I was wrong
Oh I, I just died in your arms...
