《Bantry Bay》歌词

[00:00:00] Bantry Bay - Shannon Singers

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

[00:00:17] It might have been but yesterday.

[00:00:22] That we watched the fisher's sails all homing,

[00:00:27] Till the little herring fleet at anchor lay.

[00:00:33] Then the fisher girls with baskets swinging,

[00:00:38] Came running down the old stone way.

[00:00:43] Every lassie to her sailor lad was singing,

[00:00:49] Ah welcome back to Bantry Bay.

[00:01:05] Then we heard the pipers sweet note tuning,

[00:01:10] And all the lassies turned to hear.

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

[00:01:21] Till the music floated down the wooden pier.

[00:01:26] Save you kindly, colleens all, said the piper

[00:01:31] Hands across and trip it while I play.

[00:01:37] And the tender sound of song and merry dancing,

[00:01:42] Stole softly over Bantry Bay.

[00:01:58] As I'm sitting all alone in the gloaming,

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

[00:02:09] And I see the lovely faces round me

[00:02:14] That used to glad the old front pier.

[00:02:19] Some have gone upon their last logged homing,

[00:02:25] Some are left, but they are old and grey.

[00:02:30] And we're waiting for the tide in the gloaming.

[00:02:35] To sail upon the great highway.

[00:02:41] Called peacefully from Bantry Bay.
