《The Mountains Of Mourne》歌词

[00:00:00] The Mountains Of Mourne - Brian Dullaghan

[00:00:09] Oh Mary this London's a wonderful sight

[00:00:16] With people here working by day and by night

[00:00:24] They don't sow potatoes nor barley nor wheat

[00:00:30] But there's gangs of them digging for

[00:00:35] Gold in the street

[00:00:38] At least when I asked them that's what

[00:00:42] I was told

[00:00:45] So I just took a hand at this diggin'

[00:00:50] For gold

[00:00:52] But for all that I found there I might

[00:00:57] As well be

[00:00:59] Where the Mountains of Mourne sweep down

[00:01:04] To the sea

[00:01:08] I believe that when writin' a wish you expressed

[00:01:15] As to how the fine ladies in London were dressed

[00:01:23] Well if you'll believe me when asked to a ball

[00:01:30] Faith they don't wear a top to their dresses

[00:01:35] At all

[00:01:37] Oh I've seen them meself and you could not

[00:01:42] In trath

[00:01:44] Say if they were bound for a ball or a bath

[00:01:51] Don't be startin' them fashions now Mary Macree

[00:01:58] Where the Mountains of Mourne sweep down

[00:02:04] To the sea

[00:02:08] You remember young Peter O'Loughlin of course

[00:02:15] Well now he is here at the head of the force

[00:02:22] I met him today I was crossing the Strand

[00:02:29] And he stopped the whole street with wan wave of

[00:02:35] His hand

[00:02:37] And there we stood talkin' of days that are gone

[00:02:44] While the whole population of London looked on

[00:02:51] But for all these great powers he's wishful

[00:02:56] Like me

[00:02:58] To be back where the dark Mourne sweeps down

[00:03:03] To the sea

[00:03:16] There's beautiful girls here oh never you mind

[00:03:23] With beautiful shapes nature never designed

[00:03:30] And lovely complexions all roses and cream

[00:03:38] But O'Loughlin remarked with regard to the same

[00:03:45] That if at those roses you venture to sip

[00:03:52] The colours might all come away on your lip

[00:03:59] So I'll wait for the wild rose that's waitin'

[00:04:05] For me

[00:04:07] Where the Mountains of Mourne sweep down

[00:04:11] To the sea
