《North America》歌词

[00:00:01] Ye lovers all both great and small who dwell in Ireland

[00:00:09] Oh I pray you pay attention whilst I my pen command

[00:00:18] It was my father's anger that drove my love away

[00:00:27] But I still have hopes we'll meet again in North Amerikay

[00:00:33] My love he was fair and handsome and to him I gave my heart

[00:00:46] Ah but little was our notion that we would ever part

[00:00:54] It was in my father's garden that this flower it did decay

[00:01:03] But I still have hopes t'wil' bloom again in North Amerikay

[00:01:09] Now I did not want for money kind fortune on me shone

[00:01:22] So out of my father's castle I took 300 pounds

[00:01:31] It was in the town of Belfast my passage I did pay

[00:01:40] And then set sail across the sea to far Amerikay

[00:01:47] Now the captain's wife was kind to me as you may understand

[00:01:59] And she kept me in her cabin until we reached dry land

[00:02:08] It was in the town of Quebec we landed on the Cay

[00:02:16] But I knew not where to seek my love in all Amerikay

[00:02:26] Now I being sick and sore and tired well I went into an inn

[00:02:35] And it was there I met my William the lad I loved within

[00:02:44] He took me gently by the hand and to me he did say

[00:02:53] Oh I never thought I'd see your face in North Amerikay

[00:02:58] Now I hear this couple have got wed as you may understand

[00:03:11] And I hear they live quite happily in a town they call Saint Johns

[00:03:20] And the money that she took from home well in gold she paid it down

[00:03:29] And they think no more of Ireland nor Enniskillin Town
