The Pipes They Played Amazing Grace

A fireman and his true love went walking one day
Said the fireman to his true love as the sky turned to grey
Hear the bell toll, there’s a fire, look and see the flames roar
So 'tis fare you well my Nancy, you're the girl that I adore

So 'tis fare you well my Nancy (x3)
You're the girl that I adore

A ring from her finger she instantly drew
Saying take this dear William; my heart will go too
And as they stood embracing, tears from her eyes fell
Saying' Will you please stay with me, Oh no my love farewell

 Saying' Will you please stay with me (x3)
Oh no my love farewell

So 'tis fare you well Nancy, I can no longer stay
For the townsfolk they do need me and I cannot delay
And the engine stands a waiting for to give me a ride
And when I do return again I will make you my bride

 And when I do return again (x3)
I will make you my bride

As William fought the fire, all at his heart's content
The fire it fought back at him and down he went
And Nancy she lies waiting, all alone to complain
For the loss of her William who died fighting the flame.

 For the loss of her William (x3)
Who died fighting the flame.

It was pleasant and delightful on a bright summer's morn
When the firemen by the thousands came for to mourn
We'll remember thee, fallen hero, to a man they did say
And the pipes they played Amazing Grace at the dawning of the day

 And the pipes they played Amazing Grace (x3)
At the dawning of the day.
