《Mountains of Mourne》歌词

[00:00:00] Mountains of Mourne - The Houghton Weavers

[00:00:07] Oh Mary this London's a wonderful sight

[00:00:14] With people here working by day and by night

[00:00:20] They don't sow potatoes nor barley nor wheat

[00:00:27] But there's gangs of them diggin' for gold in the street

[00:00:34] At least when I asked them that's what I was told

[00:00:40] So I just give a hand at this diggin' for gold;

[00:00:47] But for all that I've found there I might as well be

[00:00:53] Where the Mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea

[00:01:07] I believe that when writin' a wish you expressed

[00:01:13] As to how the fine ladies of London are dressed

[00:01:20] Well if you believe me when asked to a ball

[00:01:26] They don't wear no tops to their dresses at all

[00:01:33] Oh I've seen them myself and you could not in truth

[00:01:39] Say if they were bound for a ball or a bath

[00:01:46] Don't be startin' them fashions now Mary Machree

[00:01:53] Where the Mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea

[00:02:06] There's beautiful girls here Oh never you mind

[00:02:12] Beautiful shapes nature never designed

[00:02:19] Lovely complexions of roses and cream

[00:02:25] But let me remark with regard to the same

[00:02:32] That if at that those roses you venture to sip

[00:02:38] The colours might all come away on your lips

[00:02:44] So I'll wait for the wild rose that's waitin' for me

[00:02:51] Where the dark Mourne sweep down to the sea

[00:03:04] You remember young Davey Mc Clarin of course

[00:03:11] He's over here at the head of the force

[00:03:17] I saw him one day as he stood on the strand

[00:03:24] Stopped all the traffic with a wave of his hand

[00:03:30] And as we stood talking of days that are gone

[00:03:36] The whole town of London stood there to look on

[00:03:43] But for all his great powers he's wishful like me

[00:03:49] To be back where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the sea
