The Streets Of Derry歌词

[00:19.72]After the morning there comes an evening
[00:28.89]And after the evening another day
[00:36.56]And after a false love there comes a true love
[00:45.76]I'd have you listen now to what I say
[00:53.52]I swear my love is the finest young man
[01:02.69]As fair as any the sun shines on
[01:10.45]But how to save him, I do not know it
[01:19.42]For he has got a sentence to be hung
[01:27.24]As he was marching the streets of Derry
[01:36.21]I own he marched up right manfully
[01:44.02]Being much more like a commanding officer
[01:53.09]Than a man to die upon the gallows tree
[02:01.43]"What keeps my love so long in coming
[02:10.38]Oh what detains her so long from me
[02:17.94]Or does she think it a shame or scandal
[02:27.00]To see me die upon the gallows tree"
[02:34.97]He looked around and he saw her coming
[02:44.08]And she was dressed all in woollen fine
[02:51.44]The weary steed that my love was riding
[03:00.75]It flew more swifftly than the wind
[03:44.45]Come down, come down from that cruel gallows
[03:53.37]I've got your pardon from the king
[04:00.58]And I'll let them see that they dare not hang you
[04:09.86]And I'll crown my love with a bunch of green
