《The Reason I Left Mullingar》歌词

[00:00:00] The Reason I Left Mullingar - The Fureys/Davey Arthur

[00:00:15] I walked to your city a stranger

[00:00:21] In a land i can never call home

[00:00:26] And i cursed the sad notion that caused me

[00:00:32] In search of my fortune to rome

[00:00:36] I'm weary of working and drinking

[00:00:42] A week's wages just left in the bar

[00:00:47] And gods it's a shame for to use a friends name

[00:00:53] To beg for the price of a jar

[00:00:58] I remember that bright april morning

[00:01:03] When i left home to travel a far

[00:01:08] For to work till your dead for a room and a bed

[00:01:13] It's not the reason i left mullingar

[00:01:19] Oh this london's a city of heartbreak

[00:01:24] On friday there's friends by the score

[00:01:29] But when the pay's finished on monday

[00:01:35] A friend's not your friend anymore

[00:01:40] For a working day seems never ending

[00:01:45] From a shovel and pick there's no break

[00:01:51] And when your not working your spending

[00:01:56] That fortune you left home to make

[00:02:01] I remember that bright april morning

[00:02:07] When i left home to travel a far

[00:02:12] For to work till your dead for a room and a bed

[00:02:17] It's not the reason i left mullingar

[00:02:33] And for everyone here that finds fortune

[00:02:39] And comes home to tell of the tale

[00:02:44] Each morning the broadway are crowed

[00:02:49] With many's the thousant that failed

[00:02:54] So young men of ireland take warning

[00:03:00] In london you never will find

[00:03:05] The gold at the end of the rainbow

[00:03:10] For you might just have left it behind

[00:03:15] I remember that bright april morning

[00:03:21] When i left home to travel a far

[00:03:26] For to work till your dead for a room and a bed

[00:03:31] It's not the reason i left mullingar
