《Snowy Breasted Pearl》歌词

[00:00:00] Snowy Breasted Pearl - Shannon Singers

[00:00:09] There's a colleen fair as May

[00:00:14] For a year and for a day

[00:00:19] I have sought by every way

[00:00:23] Her heart to gain

[00:00:29] There's no art of tongue or eye

[00:00:34] Fond youths with maidens try

[00:00:39] But I've tried with ceaseless sigh

[00:00:43] Yet tried in vain

[00:00:49] If to France or far off Spain

[00:00:54] She crossed the wat'ry main

[00:00:59] To see her face again

[00:01:02] The seas I'd brave

[00:01:08] And if it's heaven's decree

[00:01:13] That mine she'll never be

[00:01:18] May the Son of Mary

[00:01:21] Me in mercy save

[00:01:47] Oh thou blooming milk-white dove

[00:01:52] To whom I've given true love

[00:01:57] Do not ever thus reprove my constancy;

[00:02:07] There are maidens would be mine

[00:02:12] With wealth in land or

[00:02:15] Kine

[00:02:17] If my heart would but incline

[00:02:21] To turn from thee;

[00:02:27] But a kiss with welcome bland

[00:02:31] And a touch of thy fair

[00:02:35] Hand

[00:02:36] Are all that I demand

[00:02:40] Would'st thou not spurn

[00:02:46] For if not mine dear girl

[00:02:51] Oh my snowy breasted pearl

[00:02:56] May I never from the fair with life return

[00:03:01] May I never from the fair with life return
