《Bantry Bay》歌词

[00:00:00] Bantry Bay - John McCormack (麦考梅克)

[00:00:12] As I'm sitting all alone in the gloaming

[00:00:19] It might have been but yesterday

[00:00:24] That we watched the fisher's sails all homing

[00:00:30] Till the little herring fleet at anchor lay

[00:00:35] Then the fisher girls with baskets swinging

[00:00:41] Came running down the old stone way

[00:00:46] Every lassie to her sailor lad was singing

[00:00:53] Ah welcome back to Bantry Bay

[00:01:04] Then we heard the pipers sweet note tuning

[00:01:11] And all the lassies turned to hear

[00:01:16] As they mingled with a soft voice crooning

[00:01:22] Till the music floated down the wooden pier

[00:01:27] Save you kindly colleens all said the piper

[00:01:33] Hands across and trip it while I play

[00:01:39] And the tender sound of song and merry dancing

[00:01:47] Stole softly over Bantry Bay

[00:01:55] As I'm sitting all alone in the gloaming

[00:02:04] The shadows of the past draw near

[00:02:11] And I see the lovely faces round me

[00:02:17] That used to glad the old front pier

[00:02:24] Some have gone upon their last logged homing

[00:02:31] Some are left but they are old and gray

[00:02:41] And we're waiting for the tide in the gloaming

[00:02:48] To sail upon the great highway

[00:02:53] To the land of rest unending

[00:03:03] All peacefully from Bantry Bay
