[00:01.42] | Isle Of St. Helena-Mary Black |
[00:11.23] | Now Bony he has gone from his wars all a-fightin' |
[00:21.05] | He has gone to the place where he takes no delight in. |
[00:30.74] | And there he may sit down and tell the sights he's seen of |
[00:40.52] | When full long doth he mourn on the Isle of St. Helena. |
[00:51.76] | |
[00:53.64] | No more in St. Cloud will he'll appear in great splendor |
[01:02.57] | Nor step forth from the crowdlike the great Alexander, |
[01:12.33] | He may look to the east , while he thinks of Hana, |
[01:22.01] | with is heart full of war, on the Isle of St. Helena |
[01:33.07] | |
[01:34.88] | The wide rushing waves all around the shores a-washin' |
[01:44.20] | And the wide billows heaves on the wild rocks are dashin'. |
[01:53.92] | He may look over the main to the great Mount Diana |
[02:02.93] | With his eyes on the waves that surround St. Helena. |
[02:11.28] | |
[02:54.61] | Oh, Louisy she weeps for her husband's departin' |
[03:03.66] | And she dreams while she sleeps and she wakes broken-hearted. |
[03:13.45] | There is none to console her, thought there is many to be with her |
[03:22.92] | While alone she does mourn while she thinks of St. Helena. |
[03:33.80] | |
[03:35.30] | So you that have wealth, beware of ambition |
[03:44.68] | For there is some twist of fate could soon change your condition. |
[03:54.45] | Be steadfast in time what's to come change you cannot |
[04:03.71] | For maybe your race will end on the Isle of St. Helena. |
