Текст песни
A gray dove flew, a silver dove
With his gentle love
A daring lad was walking by
With a maiden fair and shy
A daring lad was walking by
With a maiden fair and shy
That gray little dove you see
Is the gallant youth so free
That gentle dove so soft above
Is the maiden that he loves
That gentle dove so soft above
Is the maiden that he loves
Friends are walking close behind
Watching what they find
Watching closely, whispering low
Speaking soft and slow
Watching closely, whispering low
Speaking soft and slow
“If that little dove so white
With her dove would stay tonight
If that maiden fair and bright
Came to live with me tonight
If that maiden fair and bright
Came to live with me tonight!
Place the dove upon my hand
Still he will not stand
Move him to the other side
Still he will not bide
Move him to the other side
Still he will not bide
Home the little dove has flown
Fly, dear dove, fly home
Fly, dear dove, fly home again
To your loving hen
Fly, dear dove, fly home again
To your loving hen
Gray dove softly cooed his tune
Kissed his gentle one
And the dove replied with love
Kissed her faithful dove
And the dove replied with love
Kissed her faithful dove
A gray dove flew, a silver dove
With his gentle love
A daring lad was walking by
With a maiden fair and shy
A daring lad was walking by
With a maiden fair and shy
