[00:00:00] Craigie Hill - Colleen Raney

[00:00:00] Written by：Dick Gaughan

[00:00:00] It being the spring and the small birds

[00:00:06] They were singing

[00:00:09] Down by your shady arbour I carelessly did stray

[00:00:17] The thrushes they were warbling

[00:00:21] The violets they were charming

[00:00:25] To hear two lovers talking a while I did delay

[00:00:33] She said my dear don't leave me all for another season

[00:00:41] Though fortune may be pleasing I'll go along with you

[00:00:49] I'll leave friends and relations and quit this Irish nation

[00:00:57] And to the bonny ban banks forever I'll bid adieu

[00:01:05] He said my dear don't grieve me or yet annoy my patience

[00:01:13] You know I love you dearly although I'm going away

[00:01:21] I'm going to some foreign nation to purchase a plantation

[00:01:29] For to comfort us hereafter all in America

[00:01:37] The landlords and their agents their bailiffs and their beagles

[00:01:45] The land of our forefathers we're forced for to give over

[00:01:53] And we're sailing on the ocean for honor and promotion

[00:02:01] And we're parting with our sweethearts it's them we do adore

[00:02:39] When you were in your bed lying and thinking of dying

[00:02:47] One sight of the bonny ban banks your sorrows you'd give over

[00:02:55] And if your were but one hour all in her shady bower

[00:03:03] Pleasure would surround you you'd think on death no more

[00:03:11] So fare the well sweet craigie hill where oftentimes I have roved in

[00:03:19] I never thought in my childhood days I'd part you any more

[00:03:27] But we're sailing on the ocean for honor and promotion

[00:03:35] And the bonny boat's a sailing way down by door in shore
