《The Old Northern Shore》歌词

[00:00:00] Oh whiskey’s the life of man but whiskey’s mostly water

[00:00:11] And it’s whiskey fuels the worker and corrupts his only daughter

[00:00:21] The mountain water’s in the still the copper pipes a’ steamin’

[00:00:27] There’ll soon be whiskey in the glass and dreamers gone to dreamin’

[00:00:40] Chorus: Oh it’s the dreamin’ it’s the dreamin’

[00:00:50] A young girl’s prayer an old man’s thoughts a reelin’

[00:00:58] Two lovers stealin’ the moonlight beamin’

[00:01:07] Oh it’s the dreamin’ it’s the dreamin’

[00:01:17] Oh I met her down in Dublin town like a bottle fly I fell

[00:01:27] To the spider in the Blackbush of the old railway hotel

[00:01:37] She spun her web from Liffey’s walls to the back rooms down at Whelan’s

[00:01:46] But oh how sweet her poison now I’m drowning in the dreamin’

[00:01:55] Chorus: Oh it’s the dreamin’ it’s the dreamin’

[00:02:05] A young girl’s prayer an old man’s thoughts are reelin’

[00:02:13] Two lovers stealin’ the moonlight beamin’

[00:02:21] Oh it’s the dreamin’ it’s the dreamin’

[00:02:48] Oh whiskey’s made of water lads Barley corn or malt

[00:02:59] And man and woman’s water mixed with poetry and salt

[00:03:08] Bring on the pullin’ of the tides the flash of eyes a gleamin’

[00:03:17] When passion blends the elements the yeast is but the dreamin’

[00:03:26] Chorus: Oh it’s the dreamin’ it’s the dreamin’

[00:03:36] A young girl’s prayer an old man’s thoughts are reelin’

[00:03:43] Two lovers stealin’ the moonlight beamin’

[00:03:52] The search for meaning leads through the dreamin’

[00:04:01] Oh whiskey’s the life of man
