|
| [00:29.37] |
As I roved out one evening fair |
| [00:36.05] |
By the verdant braes of Skreen. |
| [00:41.36] |
I set my back to a hawthorn tree |
| [00:47.40] |
To view the sun in the west country, |
| [00:54.03] |
And the dew on the forest green. |
| [00:59.91] |
|
| [01:00.16] |
A lad I spied by Abhann's side |
| [01:06.40] |
And a maiden by his knee. |
| [01:11.90] |
And he was as dark as the very brown wood |
| [01:17.98] |
And she all whey and wan to see, |
| [01:24.22] |
All whey and wan was she. |
| [01:29.90] |
|
| [01:30.15] |
"Oh sit you down on the grass," he said. |
| [01:36.85] |
"On the dewy grass so green |
| [01:42.28] |
For the wee birds all have come and gone |
| [01:48.38] |
Since I my true love have seen," he said. |
| [01:54.77] |
"Since I my true love have seen" |
| [02:27.01] |
|
| [02:27.26] |
"Then I'll not sit on the grass," she said |
| [02:34.25] |
"Nor be a love of thine |
| [02:39.46] |
For I hear you love a Connaught girl |
| [02:46.85] |
And your heart's no longer mine," she said |
| [02:53.50] |
"And your heart's no longer mine." |
| [02:59.01] |
|
| [02:59.26] |
"But I will climb a high, high tree |
| [03:05.99] |
And I'll rob a wild bird's nest |
| [03:11.51] |
And back I'll bring what I find there |
| [03:17.49] |
To the arms that I love best," she said |
| [03:23.84] |
"To the arms that I love best." |
