Lough Sheelin Eviction 歌詞
Lough Sheelin Eviction - Tara Folk
Farewell my country
A long farewell
My tale of anguish
No tongue can tell
For I'm forced to fly
O'er the ocean wide
From the home
I love by laugh
Sheelin side
How proud was I
Of my girl so fair
I was envied most
By the young men there
When I brought her back
A bashful bride
To my cottage home
By lough sheelin side
Farewell my love
A fond adieu
Farewell my comrades and
My country too
For I'm forced to fly
O'er the ocean wide
From the home I love
By lough sheelin side
But all our joys
Were too good to last
For the landlord came
Our young hopes to blast
In vain we pleaded
For mercy no
He hurled us out
In the blinding snow
The no one opened
For us their door
For ill felt vengeance
Would reach them sure
My eileen fainted in
My arms and died
On that snowy night
By lough sheelin side
Farewell my love
A fond adieu
Farewell my comrades and
My country too
For I'm forced to fly
O'er the ocean wide
From the home I love
By lough sheelin side
I buried her down
In the churchyard low
Where in the springtime
The wild flowers grow
I shed no tears
For my tongue felt dry
On that fearful night
By lough sheelin side
Farewell my country
Farewell all day
The ship will soon
Take me far away
But oh my fond heart
Would sooner bide
Near my eileen's grave
By lough sheelin side
Farewell my love
A fond adieu
Farewell my comrades and
My country too
For I'm forced to fly
O'er the ocean wide
From the home I love
By lough sheelin side
