《Back Home in Derry》歌词

[00:00:04] Back Home In Derry - Christy Moore

[00:00:19] In 1803 we sailed out to sea

[00:00:23] Out from the sweet town of Derry

[00:00:26] For Australia bound if we didn't all drown

[00:00:30] And the marks of our fetters we carried

[00:00:34] In our rusty iron chains we cried for our weans

[00:00:38] Our good women we left in sorrow

[00:00:41] As the mainsails unfurled our curses we hurled

[00:00:45] On the English and thoughts of tomorrow

[00:00:49] At the mouth of the Foyle bid farewell to the soil

[00:00:55] As down below decks we were lying

[00:00:59] O'Doherty screamed woken out of a dream

[00:01:02] By a vision of bold Robert dying

[00:01:07] The sun burned cruel as we dished out the gruel

[00:01:10] Dan O'Connor was down with a fever

[00:01:14] Sixty rebels today bound for Botany Bay

[00:01:18] How many will meet their reciever

[00:01:23] Oh I wish I was back home in Derry

[00:01:31] Oh I wish I was back home in Derry

[00:01:41] I cursed them to hell as her bow fought the swell

[00:01:44] Our ship danced like a moth in the firelight

[00:01:48] White horses rode high as the devil passed by

[00:01:52] Taking souls to Hades by twilight

[00:01:55] Five weeks out to sea we were now forty-three

[00:01:59] We buried our comrades each morning

[00:02:03] In our own slime we were lost in a time

[00:02:07] Of endless night without dawning

[00:02:11] Oh I wish I was back home in Derry

[00:02:20] Oh I wish I was back home in Derry

[00:02:30] Van Diemen's land is a hell for a man

[00:02:34] To end out his whole life in slavery

[00:02:37] Where the climate is raw and the gun makes the law

[00:02:41] Neither wind nor rain care for bravery

[00:02:45] Twenty years have gone by I've ended my bond

[00:02:49] My comrades ghosts walk behind me

[00:02:53] A rebel I came I'm still the same

[00:02:56] On the cold winters night you will find me

[00:03:02] Oh I wish I was back home in Derry

[00:03:10] Oh I wish I was back home in Derry

[00:03:19] Oh I wish I was back home in Derry
