Letra da Música Sails Of Silver de Steeleye Span

One misty moisty morning when cloudy was the weather
I met with an old man a-clothed all in leather
He was clothed all in leather with a cap beneath his
chin
Singing how do you do and how do you do and how do you
do again
This rustic was a thresher as on his way he hied
And with a leather bottle fast buckled by his side
He wore no shirt upon his back but wool unto his skin
Singing how do you do and how do you do and how do you
do again
I went a little further and there I met a maid
A-going a-milking, a-milking Sir she said
Then I began to compliment and she began to sing
Saying how do you do and how do you do and how do you
do again
This maid her name was Dolly clothed in a gown of grey
I being somewhat jolly persuaded her to stay
And straight I fell a-courting her in hopes her love
to win
Singing how do you do and how do you do and how do you
do again
I having time and leisure, I spent a vacant hour
A-telling of my treasure while sitting in the bower
With many kind embraces I stroke her double chin
Singing how do you do and how do you do and how do you
do again
I said that I would married be and she would be my
bride
And long we should not tarry and twenty things beside
I'll plough and sow and reap and mow and you shall sit
and spin
Singing how do you do and how do you do and how do you
do again
Her parents then consented, all parties were agreed
Her portion thirty shillings, we married were with
speed
Then Will the piper he did play whilst others dance
and sing
Saying how do you do and how do you do and how do you
do again
Then lusty Ralph and Robin with many damsels gay
Did ride on Roan and Dobbin to celebrate the day
And when they met together their caps they off did
fling
Singing how do you do and ho
