Erin The Green歌词

[00:00.55]Oh draw near each young lover
[00:05.83]Give ear to my story
[00:09.16]That bears my sad, mournful tale.
[00:15.97]Come join me in chorus
[00:20.90]And lend me your pity
[00:24.25]Whilst I my misfortune bewail.
[00:30.72]
[00:31.20]The grief of my poor heart
[00:34.87]No tongue can disclose.
[00:38.10]My cheeks are now pale
[00:42.06]They once bloomed like the rose.
[00:47.00]And it's all for a young man
[00:51.64]Whom I do suppose
[00:54.60]Is now far from sweet Erin the Green.
[01:01.08]
[01:01.56]Now when were children
[01:05.94]We walked out together
[01:09.30]Along the green meadows sweet.
[01:15.47]And although we were childish
[01:20.04]We loved one another
[01:23.39]Whilst gathering the wild berries sweet.
[01:29.71]
[01:30.19]It was to sweet Garvagh where we were sent to school
[01:37.15]He was first in his class
[01:40.79]And correct in each rule.
[01:46.07]And I cheerfully walked home by Kilnacoole
[01:53.86]With the flower of sweet Erin the Green.
[02:34.52]
[02:35.00]Oh his head on my breast
[02:38.65]And he used to repose
[02:43.02]At each evening under the shade.
[02:49.80]A song in my praises my darling composed
[02:57.34]And he styled me the cool Derry maid.
[03:04.53]At the time I denied him I'd die for his sake
[03:11.48]It was little I thought my denial he'd take.
[03:20.10]
[03:20.58]Oh, but my own misfortune
[03:25.11]I made a mistake
[03:28.50]When he left me on Erin the Green.
