《Darby O’Leary》歌词

[00:00:00] Darby O'Leary (2012 - Remaster) - The Dubliners

[00:00:06] "One evening of latest as I happened to stray

[00:00:09] To the county Tipperary I straightened me way

[00:00:13] To dig for potatoes and work by the day

[00:00:16] For a farmer called Darby O'Leary

[00:00:20] I asked him how far we where bound for to go

[00:00:24] The night being dark and a cold wind did blow

[00:00:27] I was hungry and tired and me spirits where low

[00:00:31] For I got neither whiskey nor water

[00:00:35] The dirty ould miser he mounted his stead

[00:00:38] To the Gull Belly mountains he road in great speed

[00:00:42] I followed behind till my poor feet did bleed

[00:00:46] When we stopped when his old horse was weary

[00:00:49] When we came to his cottage I entered it first

[00:00:53] It seems like a kennel or ruined old church

[00:00:56] Says I to myself I am left in the lurch

[00:01:00] In the house of old Darby O'Leary

[00:01:04] I well recollected was mickle must night

[00:01:07] To a hearty good supper he did me invite

[00:01:11] A cup of sour milk that was more green than white

[00:01:14] And it gave me the threatened disorder

[00:01:18] The wet oul potatoes would poison the cats

[00:01:22] And the barn where me bed was with sworn with rats

[00:01:25] The fleas would have frightened the fearless Saint Pat'

[00:01:29] Who banished the snake o'er the border

[00:01:33] He worked me by day and he worked me by night

[00:01:36] While he held an old candle to give me some light

[00:01:40] I wished these potatoes would die of the blight

[00:01:43] Or himself would go off with the fairies

[00:01:47] 'TWas on this old miser I looked with a frown

[00:01:51] When the straw was brought in for to make me shake down

[00:01:54] And I wished that I'd never seen him nor his town

[00:01:58] Nor the sky over Darby O'Leary

[00:02:02] I've worked in Kilconnal I've worked in Kilmore

[00:02:05] I've worked in Knockannie and Shanbalamore

[00:02:09] And Pallas and Nigger and Salahatmore

[00:02:13] With farmers so decent and cheery

[00:02:16] I've worked in Tipperary the rag in Rossgreen

[00:02:20] At the mount of Kilfacel the bridge of Aleen

[00:02:23] Such woe-full starvation I never yet seen

[00:02:27] As I got from ould Darby O'Leary"
