Cara Dillon - Brockagh Braes lyrics
One night as I lay slumbering in my silent bed alone Some reckless thoughts came to my mind which caused me for to roam To leave my native country and the wee girl I do adore So I thought it fit to take a trip, strange lands for to explore Now the night before I went away I was walking over Brackagh Hill When I met my darling on the road and her eyes with tears did fill "Stay you at home dear John" she said "and do not go away For I'll have none for comfort me when you are on the sea" Well I took her by the lily white hand and I held her hard and fast Saying "adieu to you my darling for my ship it lies in Belfast But if you prove loyal sour I'll prove true for you know that I'm well inclined" So we kissed goodbye and parted and I left my girl behind And when we landed in Greenock sure the people all gathered around And they said I was a raknish lad come to put their harvest down They told me to return again and never more be seen So without delay I sailed away for Ireland's lovely green Sure when Mary heard that John was home her heart did beat with joy Saying "come into my arms" she cried "you're my darling lovely boy" Saying "come into my arms" she cried "of you I have thought great and long And let them all say as they will, our wedding will now go on And let them all say as they as they will |
