《Goodbye Johnny Dear》歌词

[00:00:00] Goodbye Johnny Dear - Ion

[00:00:07] Just twenty years ago today I grasped my mother's hand

[00:00:19] She kissed and blessed her only son going to a foreign land

[00:00:30] The neighbours took me from her breast and told her

[00:00:38] I must go

[00:00:41] But I could hear my mother's voice

[00:00:47] Though her words were sweet and low

[00:00:54] Goodbye Johnny dear when you're far away

[00:01:05] Don't forget your dear old mother far across the sea

[00:01:16] Write a letter now and then and send her all you can

[00:01:26] And don't forget where e'er you roam that you're an Irishman

[00:01:39] I sailed away from

[00:01:42] Queenstown that is the cove of Cork

[00:01:50] A very pleasant voyage we had and soon we're in New York

[00:02:01] I'd plenty of friends to meet me there and work

[00:02:07] I got next day

[00:02:12] But with all the hospitality

[00:02:17] I could hear my mother say

[00:02:24] Goodbye Johnny dear when you're far away

[00:02:34] Don't forget your dear old mother far across the sea

[00:02:45] Write a letter now and then and send her all you can

[00:02:55] And don't forget where e'er you roam that you're an Irishman

[00:03:10] One day a letter came to me it came from Ireland

[00:03:20] The postmark showed it came from home

[00:03:25] It was not my mother's hand

[00:03:31] 'Twas father who had wrote to say that she had passed away

[00:03:43] And just as if from Heaven above

[00:03:50] I could hear my mother say

[00:03:57] Goodbye Johnny dear when you're far away

[00:04:10] Don't forget your dear old mother far across the sea

[00:04:24] Write a letter now and then and send her all you can

[00:04:38] And don't forget where e'er you roam that you're an Irishman
