[ti:Maid Of Culmore] |
|
[ar:Celtic Thunder] |
| [00:08.129] |
Leaving sweet lovely Derry |
| [00:12.529] |
for fair London town, |
| [00:17.30] |
There is no finer harbour |
| [00:21.830] |
all around can be found, |
| [00:26.231] |
Where the youngsters each evening |
| [00:30.685] |
go down to the shore, |
| [00:34.790] |
And the joy bells are ringing |
| [00:39.490] |
for the maid of Culmore. |
| [00:54.191] |
The first time I saw her |
| [00:58.741] |
she passed me by, |
| [01:02.541] |
And the next time that I saw her |
| [01:07.92] |
she bid me goodbye, |
| [01:11.142] |
But the last time I saw her |
| [01:15.448] |
it grieved my heart sore, |
| [01:19.298] |
For she sailed down Loch Foyle |
| [01:23.851] |
and away from Culmore. |
| [01:28.201] |
If I had the power |
| [01:32.151] |
the storms for to rise, |
| [01:35.901] |
I would make the wind blow out |
| [01:40.502] |
and I'd darken the skies, |
| [01:44.402] |
I'd make the wind blow high |
| [01:48.902] |
and the salt seas to roar, |
| [01:52.802] |
Till the day that my darling |
| [01:57.252] |
sailed away from Culmore. |
| [02:07.403] |
To the back parts of America |
| [02:11.853] |
my love I'll go seek, |
| [02:15.553] |
For it's there I know no one |
| [02:20.673] |
and no one knows me, |
| [02:23.623] |
But if I don't find her |
| [02:28.24] |
I'll return home no more, |
| [02:31.873] |
Like a pilgrim I'll wander |
| [02:36.924] |
for the maid of Culmore |
