No. 6: Long Ago in Alcala
Bobinet
MIDI File 2' 19"
BOBINET: | Long ago in Alcala, Ta ra ra, ta ra ra ra ra ra ra! |
|
There dwelt a bold and bad grandee, Who used to sail upon the sea, to sail upon the sea, to sail upon the sea, |
||
Ta ra ra, ta ra ra, ta ra ra, ta ra ra! | ||
He loved a maid of Alcala, Ta ra ra, ta ra ra ra ra ra ra! |
||
For he was fine, and frank, and free, And she was fair as a maid could be, as a maid could be! |
||
Tra la la, tra la la, tra la la la la la! | ||
He was a terrible tall Alcade, She was a lovely lady, |
||
Alca, Alca, Alcadeda! The lovely lady of Alcala, the lady of Alcala! |
||
Ta ra ra, ta ra ra, ta ra ra, ta ra ra! | ||
They met one eve in Alcala, Ta ra ra, ta ra ra ra ra ra! |
||
He said, "Sweet maiden, come with me," But she was as coy as a maid should be, as a maid, as a maid, as a maid should be! |
||
Tra la la, tra la la, tra la la la la la! | ||
So they sailed away, both he and she, Ta ra ra, ta ra ra ra ra ra ra! |
||
Which was rather odd, as it seems to me, For Alcala isn't on the sea, It's nowhere near the sea! |
||
Tra la la, tra la la, tra la la la la la! | ||
Still, that's the tale of the tall Alcade, Who sailed away with the lovely lady, |
||
Alca, Alca, Alcadeda, Tra la la, tra la la, tra la la la la! |
