《Shamrock Shore》歌词

[00:00:00] You brave young sons of Erin's Isle

[00:00:04] I hope you will attend awhile

[00:00:09] 'Tis the wrongs of dear old Ireland I am going to relate

[00:00:18] 'Twas black and cursed was the day

[00:00:22] When our parliament was taken away

[00:00:27] And all of our griefs and sufferings commences from that day

[00:00:35] For our hardy sons and daughters fair

[00:00:40] To other countries must repair

[00:00:45] And leave their native land behind in sorrow to deplore

[00:00:54] Fo seek employment they must roam

[00:00:59] Far far away from the native home

[00:01:04] From that sore oppressed island that they call the shamrock shore

[00:01:14] Now Ireland is with plenty blessed

[00:01:18] But the people we are sore oppressed

[00:01:23] All by those cursed tyrants we are forced for to obey

[00:01:32] Some haughty landlords for to please

[00:01:36] Our houses and our lands they'll seize

[00:01:41] To put fifty farms into one and take us all away

[00:01:50] Regardless of the widow's sighs

[00:01:55] The mother's tears and orphan's cries

[00:02:01] In thousands we were driven from home which grieves my heart full sore

[00:02:09] We were forced by famine and disease

[00:02:14] To emigrate across the seas

[00:02:20] From that sore opressed island that they called the shamrock shore

[00:02:49] Our sustenance all taken away

[00:02:53] The tithes and taxes for to pay

[00:02:58] To support that law-protected church to which they do adhere

[00:03:06] And our Irish gentry well you know

[00:03:10] To other countries they do go

[00:03:15] And the money from old Ireland they squandered here and there

[00:03:23] For if our squires would stay at home

[00:03:29] And not to other countries roam

[00:03:34] But to build mills and factories here to employ the laboring poor

[00:03:42] For if we had trade and commerce here

[00:03:47] To me no nation could compare

[00:03:52] To that sore oppressed island that they call the shamrock shore

[00:04:01] John Bull he boasts he laughs with scorn

[00:04:06] And he says that Irishman is born

[00:04:11] To be always discontented for at home we cannot agree

[00:04:21] But we'll banish the tyrants from our land

[00:04:25] And in harmony like sisters stand

[00:04:29] To demand the rights of Ireland let us all united be

[00:04:37] And our parliament in College Green

[00:04:43] For to assemble it will be seen

[00:04:48] And happy days in Erin's Isle we soon will have once more

[00:04:56] And dear old Ireland soon will be

[00:05:02] A great and glorious country

[00:05:07] And peace and blessings soon will smile all around the shamrock shore
