《Back Home In Derry》歌词

[00:00:00] Back Home In Derry - Galway City Ramblers

[00:00:17] In 1803 we sailed out to sea

[00:00:21] Out from the sweet town of Derry

[00:00:24] For Australia bound if we didn't all drown

[00:00:28] And the marks of our feckles we carried

[00:00:32] In the rusty iron chains we cried for our wanes

[00:00:36] Our good women we left there in sorrow

[00:00:39] As the main sails unfurled our curses we hurled

[00:00:43] At the english and the thoughts of tomorrow

[00:00:49] At the mouth of the foyle bid farwell to the soil

[00:00:53] As down below decks we were lying

[00:00:56] O'docherty's scream woke him out of a dream

[00:01:00] By a vision of bold robert dying

[00:01:04] The sun burned cruel and we dished out the gruel

[00:01:08] Dan o'connor was down with the fever

[00:01:12] Sixty rebels today bound for botany bay

[00:01:16] How many would reach there this evening

[00:01:22] Oh oh I wish I was back home in Derry

[00:01:29] Oh oh I wish I was back home in Derry

[00:01:38] I cursed them to hell as our bow fought the swell

[00:01:42] Our ship danced like a moth in the firelight

[00:01:46] Wild horses rode high as the devil passed by

[00:01:50] Taking souls into hades by twilight

[00:01:54] Five weeks out to sea we were now 43

[00:01:57] We buried our comrades each morning

[00:02:01] And in our own slime we were lost in the time

[00:02:05] Endless night without dawning

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

[00:02:18] Oh oh I wish I was back home in Derry

[00:02:28] Van diemens land is a hell for a man

[00:02:32] To end out his whole life in slavery

[00:02:36] Where the climate is raw and the gun makes the law

[00:02:39] Neither wind nor rain care for bravery

[00:02:43] Twenty years have gone by and I've ended my bond

[00:02:47] My comrades' ghosts walk behind me

[00:02:51] A rebel I came and I'm still the same

[00:02:55] On a cold winters night you will finds me

[00:03:01] Oh oh I wish I was back home in Derry

[00:03:08] Oh oh I wish I was back home in Derry

[00:03:16] Oh oh I wish I was back home in Derry

[00:03:23] Oh oh I wish I was back home in Derry
