[00:00.001]It being in the springtime when the small birds they were singing
[00:07.771]Down by yon shady harbour I carelessly did stray
[00:15.634]Well the thrushes they were warbling, and the violets they were charming
[00:24.098]To view to lovers talking, a while I did delay
[00:32.326]She said, my dear don′t leave me all for another season
[00:40.451]Though fortune does be pleasing I′ll go along with you
[00:48.287]I′ll forsake friends and relations and bid this Irish nation
[00:56.855]And to the bonny Bann banks forever I ′ll bid adieu
[01:09.655]He said, my dear don′t grieve me or you annoy my patience
[01:18.041]You know I love you dearly the more I′m going away
[01:26.295]I′m going to a foreign nation to purchase a plantation
[01:34.681]To comfort us here after all in Amerikay
[01:43.353]Then after a short while and a fortune does be pleasing
[01:51.843]It’ll cause them all to smile at our late going away
[02:00.281]We′ll be happy as Queen Victoria, all in her greatest glory
[02:08.562]We′ll be drinking wine and porter all in Amerikay
[02:33.848]The landlords and their agents，The bailiffs and their beagles
[02:42.416]The land of our forefathers, we're going for to giveo'er
[02:50.697]And now we're sailing o'er the ocean for honour and promotion
[02:59.344]And parting from our sweethearts-its them we do adore
[03:07.860]If you were lying in your bed and thinking about dying
[03:16.715]The sight of the bonny Bann banks, your sorrow you′d give o′er
[03:24.891]Or if were just one hour, down in yon shady bower,
[03:33.877]Pleasure would surround you, and you'd think on death no more.
[03:42.080]So fare you well, sweet Cragie Hills, where often times I′ve roved
[03:51.040]I never thought my child-days I ′d part you ever more
[03:59.086]Now we′re sailing over the ocean for honour and promotion
[04:07.784]And the bonny boats are sailing, way down by Doorin shore
