[00:16.82]It Being In The Springtime
[00:21.20]And The Small Birds They were Singing,
[00:25.36]Down by Yon Shady Harbour
[00:30.00]I Carelessly did Stray,
[00:33.34]The Thrushes They were Warbling,
[00:38.16]The Violets They were Charming
[00:42.05]To View Fond Lovers Talking,
[00:46.75]A While I did Delay.
[00:50.63]
[00:50.66]She Said, My Dear Don’t Leave Me
[00:55.19]All For Another Season,
[00:59.34]Though Fortune Does Be Pleasing
[01:03.85]I ’ll Go Along With You,
[01:07.60]I ’ll Forsake Friends and Relations
[01:12.39]And Bid This Irish Nation,
[01:16.07]And To The Bonny Bann Banks
[01:20.61]Forever I ’ll Bid Adieu.
[01:24.65]
[01:24.63]He Said, My Dear Don’t Grieve
[01:29.15]Or yet Annoy My Patience,
[01:32.74]You Know I Love You Dearly
[01:37.60]The More I’m Going Away,
[01:41.46]I’m Going To A Foreign Nation
[01:46.06]To Purchase A Plantation,
[01:49.78]To Comfort Us Hereafter
[01:54.47]All In Amerikay.
[01:59.82]
[02:12.93]Then After A Short While
[02:17.86]A Fortune does Be Pleasing,
[02:21.54]I’will Cause Them for Smile
[02:27.22]At Our Late going Away,
[02:29.97]We’ll Be Happy As Queen Victoria,
[02:35.60]All In Her Greatest Glory,
[02:39.29]We’ll Be Drinking Wine And Porter
[02:43.82]All In Amerikay.
[02:47.87]
[02:47.97]If You were In Your Bed Lying
[02:52.25]And Thinking On Dying,
[02:55.95]The Sight Of The Lovely Bann Banks,
[03:01.02]Your Sorrow You’d Give Over,
[03:04.41]Or If were Down One Hour,
[03:09.08]Down In You Shady Bower,
[03:13.28]Pleasure Would Surround You,
[03:17.98]You’d Think On Death No More.
[03:22.71]
[03:35.08]Then Fare You Well,Sweet Cragie Hills,
[03:43.08]Where Often Times I’ve Roved,
[03:46.63]I Never Thought My Childhood Days
[03:51.85]I ’d Part You Any More,
[03:55.91]Now We’re Sailing On The Ocean
[04:00.23]For Honour And Promotion,
[04:05.24]And The Bonny Boats Are Sailing,
[04:09.24]Way Down By Doorin Shore.
