《The Maid of Cabra West(Irish Traditional)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Maid of Cabra West (Irish Traditional) - Quadriga Consort

[00:00:21] It was all for the love of that fair young maid

[00:00:23] That in Cabra West did reside

[00:00:26] Meself I live up in Donnybrook

[00:00:28] It's a one-and-a-fipenny ride

[00:00:31] But there was a fly in the ointment now

[00:00:33] That you very seldom see

[00:00:36] For although I loved her terrible well

[00:00:38] She was in love with a Portugee

[00:00:45] Now he was a nasty piece of goods

[00:00:47] Gonzales was his name

[00:00:51] For we couldn't wait till he got his hands

[00:00:54] On Concepta who was me dame

[00:00:57] So I made a vow be the Grand Canal

[00:01:00] That I would do him in

[00:01:03] 'Cos I didn't think much of them Portugees

[00:01:05] And in particular I didn't like him

[00:01:31] So I follied them up to Grafton Street

[00:01:34] One evening' just for one

[00:01:37] Around by the Mercer's Hospital

[00:01:39] It's next door to the Bartley Dunne

[00:01:42] Sure I spied them sitting' in the corner seat

[00:01:44] They was kissing and holding hands

[00:01:47] Ah There he was seducing her

[00:01:50] With pints of Babycham

[00:01:56] So I follied him up to his lodgings

[00:01:58] In Rathgar or thereabouts

[00:02:01] And as he was going up an alleyway

[00:02:03] I battered him inside out

[00:02:06] He gave out many's the curse and swear

[00:02:09] 'Til he was dead I'm sure

[00:02:11] Then I lifted up the manhole lid

[00:02:14] And I dropped him down the sewer

[00:02:27] Now when the mot she heard of this

[00:02:29] She made me life a hell

[00:02:32] And just for the sake of peace and quiet

[00:02:34] I did her in as well

[00:02:37] And now I'm up before the judge

[00:02:39] To answer for my crime

[00:02:42] He says I wouldn't mind the first one Son

[00:02:45] Ah but not the second time

[00:02:47] So it's all for the love of that fair young maid

[00:02:50] And her Portugee sailor boy

[00:02:52] For the passionate love of that fair young maid

[00:02:55] I landed in Mountjoy

[00:02:57] And if ever I get out again

[00:03:00] I'll change me ways you'll see

[00:03:03] And I'll marry with a man from Walkinstown

[00:03:05] Who wouldn't look at a Portugee
