| [00:27.44] |
Your hills and dales and flowery vales |
| [00:34.32] |
That lie near the Moorlough Shore |
| [00:41.28] |
Your winds that blow through Borden's Grove |
| [00:48.90] |
Shall I ever see you more? |
| [00:55.10] |
Where the primrose grows and the violets blow |
| [01:01.95] |
Where the trout and salmon play |
| [01:08.37] |
With my line and hook, delight I took |
| [01:15.67] |
But to spend my youthful days |
| [01:22.65] |
As I passed out to see my girl |
| [01:29.61] |
And to hear what she would say |
| [01:36.55] |
For to see if she'd take pity on me |
| [01:43.43] |
Before I would go away |
| [01:50.42] |
She said, "I vowed an Irish lad |
| [01:57.24] |
And he was my only joy |
| [02:03.40] |
And ever since I saw his face |
| [02:10.99] |
I love my soldier boy" |
| [02:21.45] |
"Perhaps your soldier boy was lost |
| [02:28.60] |
While crossing the raging main |
| [02:34.97] |
Or perhaps he has gone with some other girl |
| [02:42.50] |
You might never see him again" |
| [02:49.70] |
"Well, if my Irish boy is lost |
| [02:55.86] |
He's the one I do adore |
| [03:02.19] |
And for seven long years I'll wait for him |
| [03:09.67] |
On the banks of the Moorlough Shore" |
| [03:44.33] |
Farewell to see Clare's castles grand |
| [03:51.13] |
Farewell to foggy hills |
| [03:57.77] |
Where the beaded webs like bleaching silk |
| [04:04.93] |
And the bubbling stream runs still |
| [04:11.71] |
Near there I spent my youthful days |
| [04:18.88] |
But alas, they are all o'er |
| [04:25.31] |
And cruelty has banished me |
| [04:32.70] |
Far away from the Moorlough Shore |
