《The Maid of Ballydoo》歌词

[00:00:00] The Maid of Ballydoo - The Clancy Brothers

[00:00:00] It was on a summer's evening

[00:00:02] And all in the month of May

[00:00:04] Down by yon shady arbor

[00:00:06] I carelessly did stray

[00:00:08] It was there I met a charming girl

[00:00:10] Most pleasant to my view

[00:00:13] And the title that she gave herself

[00:00:15] Was the Maid of Ballydoo

[00:00:18] I gently stepped up to her

[00:00:20] And unto her did say

[00:00:22] Are you Aurora or Flo the Queen of May

[00:00:25] Or is it the play fair Helen

[00:00:27] That appears all in my view

[00:00:30] But the title that she gave herself

[00:00:32] Was the Maid of Ballydoo

[00:00:34] I took her by the lilywhite hand

[00:00:37] And by the waist so small

[00:00:39] I showed her my father's garden down

[00:00:41] By the river Bann

[00:00:42] Where the sheep and lambs do sport and play

[00:00:44] The trout and salmon too

[00:00:47] And says I young maid don't be afraid

[00:00:49] For to leave sweet Ballydoo

[00:00:51] It was with great persuasion

[00:00:53] That I got her for to give consent

[00:00:55] And hand in hand together

[00:00:57] It was Hilltown down we went

[00:00:59] And we there had liquor of the best

[00:01:01] Some of the mountain dew

[00:01:04] And she soon forgot the vows she made

[00:01:06] When leaving Ballydoo

[00:01:09] It was on a summer's evening

[00:01:11] All in the month of June

[00:01:13] I was sitting silently

[00:01:14] Condoling at my loom

[00:01:16] My scissors they sank sweetly

[00:01:18] And my shuttle nimbly flew

[00:01:21] When I first composed these verses

[00:01:23] On the Maid of Ballydoo
