Songteksten
Married him in April, lost him in July;
Listen to my story and I’ll tell you why,
They said that he’d been poaching and stealing wine,
They said I wouldn’t see him for a long long time.
Chorus: They said he’s gone to America,
To work the land that some called Virginia;
They said he’s gone to America.
Married him in April, lost him in July;
They took him as their prisoner then told me why,
They said they had sent him where poachers go,
I asked if I could see him but they said no.
Married him in April, lost him in July;
Curse the men who took him, curse their wicked lie,
The night they saw him poaching and stealing wine,
Was the night he took comfort in these arms of mine.
Married him in April, lost him in July.
Songtekstvertaling
Getrouwd in April, verloor hem in Juli;
Luister naar mijn verhaal en Ik zal je vertellen waarom,
Ze zeiden dat hij wijn had gestolen.,
Ze zeiden dat ik hem lang niet zou zien.
They said he ' s gone to America,
Om het land te bewerken dat sommigen Virginia noemden.;
Ze zeiden dat hij naar Amerika is.
Getrouwd in April, verloor hem in Juli;
Ze namen hem gevangen en vertelden me waarom.,
Ze zeiden dat ze hem naar stropers hadden gestuurd.,
Ik vroeg of ik hem mocht zien, maar ze zeiden nee.
Getrouwd in April, verloor hem in Juli;
Vervloek de mannen die hem meenamen, vervloek hun slechte leugen.,
De nacht dat ze hem zagen stropen en wijn stelen,
Was de nacht dat hij troost vond in mijn armen.
Hij trouwde in April, verloor hem in Juli.
