《Lovely Old Fintown》歌词

[00:00:00] Lovely Old Fintown - Kevin Prendergast

[00:00:00] Written by：Kathleen Hayes

[00:00:09] My countrymen I take my pen to write a verse or two

[00:00:18] And as I leave to cross the seas I bid my last adieu

[00:00:27] Our splendid boat is now afloat on the Foyle sailing down

[00:00:36] And as I leave my heard did grieve for Lovely Old Fintown

[00:00:45] Many nights I've spent in sweet content with lads and lassies gay

[00:00:53] Where songs were sung by old and young before I went away

[00:01:02] Amerikay seems far away in Philadelphia town

[00:01:11] But I can't forget the friends I lie in Lovely Old Fintown

[00:01:29] Could I but see old Glen Swilly or Mennadenny Plain

[00:01:38] Kingara's green where oft I've been to join the refrain

[00:01:46] O'er mountainsides I'd roam with pride near Glenties of renown

[00:01:55] And I've been there at many a fair in Lovely Old Fintown

[00:02:04] So fair thee well ye hills and dales and to my comrades all

[00:02:13] And twice farewell to my own dear girl I left in Donegal

[00:02:22] St. Patrick's day though far away my shamrock I will drown

[00:02:31] And I'll think of thee my gra mo chroi in Lovely Old Fintown

[00:02:39] And I'll think of thee my gra mo chroi in Lovely Old Fintown
