《The Creggan White Hare》歌词

[00:00:15] In the lowlands of Creggan there lives a white hare

[00:00:19] As swift as a swallow as she flies through the air

[00:00:23] You may travel the country but none could compare

[00:00:27] With the pride of the Creggan that bonnie white hare

[00:00:31] One fine Sunday morning as you may suppose

[00:00:35] A red golden sun o'er the green mountain rose

[00:00:39] Barney Conway came down and did loudly declare

[00:00:43] Today I'll put an end to that Creggan white hare

[00:00:47] So he searched through the lowlands and down through the glens

[00:00:51] Among the green rushes where the white hare had dens

[00:00:54] 'til at last coming over the bog-bank so bare

[00:00:59] From behind a white thistle out jumped the white hare

[00:01:03] Well he gave a great yelp and his dog she slipped too

[00:01:07] As swift as the wind o'er the green mountain flew

[00:01:10] But the dogs soon came back which made poor Barney sigh

[00:01:27] For he knew that the white hair had bid him good-bye

[00:01:34] We have some jolly sportsmen down from the Pomroy

[00:01:38] Cookstown Dungannon and also the Moy

[00:01:42] With pedigree greyhounds they came from afar

[00:01:46] Came down to the Creggan in their fine motor car

[00:01:50] 'Twas down through the lowlands these huntsmen did go

[00:01:54] To search for the white hare they tried high and low

[00:01:57] 'til at last Barney Conway as he came on its lair

[00:02:02] Shouted out to the huntsmen Here lies the white hair

[00:02:06] So they called in their greyhounds from off the green lea

[00:02:10] And Barney and the huntsmen they jumped high with glee

[00:02:14] And on the turf bank they all gathered around

[00:02:21] Seven men and nine dogs did the poor hare surround

[00:02:30] No wonder the poor puss did tremble with fear

[00:02:34] She stood on her hind legs she rose her big ear

[00:02:38] She ris on her toes and with one gallant spring

[00:02:41] Cleared over the greyhounds and broke through the ring

[00:02:45] Oh the chase it went on it was a beautiful view

[00:02:50] As swift as the wind o'er the green mountain flew

[00:02:53] But the pedigree greyhounds they didn't get far

[00:02:57] They came back and went home in their fine motor car

[00:03:01] And now to conclude and to finish my rhyme

[00:03:05] I hope you'll excuse me for wasting your time

[00:03:09] If there's any amongst you in Carrickmore Fair

[00:03:13] Drink a jolly good health to the Creggan white hare
