《Darby O’leary》歌词

[00:00:00] Darby O'leary - Kendall Morse

[00:00:07] One evening of late

[00:00:08] As I happened to stray

[00:00:10] To the county Tipperary

[00:00:12] I straight took me way

[00:00:15] To dig the potatoes

[00:00:17] And work by the day

[00:00:18] For a farmer called Darby O'leary

[00:00:23] I asked him how far

[00:00:24] We were bound for to go

[00:00:27] The night being dark

[00:00:28] And the cold wind did blow

[00:00:31] I was hungry and tired

[00:00:32] And my spirits were low

[00:00:34] For I got neither whiskey nor water

[00:00:40] The dirty old miser

[00:00:41] He mounted his steed

[00:00:43] To the Galbally mountains

[00:00:45] He rode in great speed

[00:00:48] I followed behind till

[00:00:49] My poor feet did bleed

[00:00:51] When we stopped

[00:00:52] When his old horse was weary

[00:00:56] When we came to his cottage

[00:00:58] I entered it first

[00:01:00] It seemed like a kennel

[00:01:02] Or a ruined old church

[00:01:04] Says I to myself

[00:01:06] I am left in the lurch

[00:01:08] In the house of old Darby O'leary

[00:01:13] I well recollect it

[00:01:14] Was michalmass night

[00:01:17] To a hearty good supper

[00:01:18] He did me invite

[00:01:20] A cup of sour milk

[00:01:22] That was more green than white

[00:01:24] And it gave me the trotting disorder

[00:01:29] The wet old potatoes

[00:01:31] Would poison the cats

[00:01:33] And the barn where my be was

[00:01:34] Was swarming with rats

[00:01:36] The fleas would have frightened

[00:01:38] The fearless St Pat

[00:01:40] Who banished the snakes over the border

[00:01:46] He worked me by day

[00:01:47] And he worked me by night

[00:01:49] While he held an old candle to

[00:01:52] Give me some light

[00:01:53] I wished his potatoes

[00:01:55] Would die of the blight

[00:01:57] Or himself would go off

[00:01:59] With the fairies

[00:02:02] It was on this old miser

[00:02:04] I looked with a frown

[00:02:06] When the straw was brought in

[00:02:08] For to make my shakedown

[00:02:10] And I wished I had never

[00:02:12] Seen him nor his town

[00:02:14] Nor the sky above Darby O'leary

[00:02:19] I've worked in kilconnel

[00:02:21] I've worked in killmore

[00:02:23] I worked in knoockannie and shamballamore

[00:02:27] In kalisanaker and sollahed moore

[00:02:31] With farmers so decent and cheery

[00:02:36] I've worked in Tipperary

[00:02:37] The rag and Ross green

[00:02:40] At the mount of killfegal

[00:02:41] The bridge of orleans

[00:02:44] But such woeful starvation

[00:02:46] I never yet seen

[00:02:47] As I got from old Darby O'leary
