《The Banks Of The Bann》歌词

[00:00:00] The Banks of the Bann - Cara Dillon (卡拉·迪伦)

[00:00:17] When first to this country

[00:00:21] A stranger I came

[00:00:25] I placed my affection on a maid that was young

[00:00:33] She being fair and tender her waist small and slender

[00:00:41] Kind nature had formed her for my overthrow

[00:00:49] On the banks of the Bann when first I beheld her

[00:00:57] She appeared like great Juno the fair Grecian Queen

[00:01:05] Her eyes shone like diamonds or stars brightly gleaming

[00:01:13] Her cheeks were like roses or blood drops on snow

[00:01:50] 'Twas her cruel parents that first caused our variance

[00:02:00] All because she was rich and above my degree

[00:02:08] But I'll do my whole endeavor

[00:02:12] For to gain my love's favour

[00:02:16] There is no other fair one on earth I adore

[00:02:25] Had I all the wealth that's in the West Indies

[00:02:33] I'd put rings on her fingers and gold in her ears

[00:02:41] And there on the lovely banks of the lovely Bann River

[00:02:50] In all kinds of splendor I'd live with my dear

[00:02:59] In all kinds of splendor I'd live with my dear
