《Star of Donegal》歌词

[00:00:00] Star of Donegal - Coney Foley

[00:00:05] One evening fair to take the air

[00:00:09] Alone I chanced to stray

[00:00:14] Down by a lucid silvery stream

[00:00:18] That ran along my way

[00:00:23] I spied two lovers talking

[00:00:26] By an ancient ruined hall

[00:00:31] And the fair one's name was Mary

[00:00:36] The star of Donegal

[00:00:40] He pressed her hand and then began

[00:00:45] My darling must I go

[00:00:49] Unto the land of stars and stripes

[00:00:54] Where peace and plenty flow

[00:00:58] But I want your faithful promise

[00:01:02] That you'll wed none at all

[00:01:07] Until I do return into

[00:01:11] The star of Donegal

[00:01:16] She blushed and sighed and thus replied

[00:01:20] It grieves my heart full sore

[00:01:25] To think that you're compelled to go

[00:01:29] And leave your native shore

[00:01:33] Here is my hand

[00:01:36] You have my heart

[00:01:38] I own the gift is small

[00:01:42] So stay at home and do not roam

[00:01:47] From matchless Donegal

[00:01:51] The young man said

[00:01:53] My charming maid

[00:01:55] At home I cannot stay

[00:02:00] To the Californian gold-fields

[00:02:04] I am bound to cross the sea

[00:02:09] To accumulate a fortune

[00:02:12] And to build a splendid hall

[00:02:17] For to elevate to rank and state

[00:02:22] The star of Donegal
