[00:00.268]It being in the springtime
[00:05.467]and the small birds they were singing
[00:10.675]Down by yon shady harbour
[00:15.361]I carelessly did stray
[00:20.578]when the thrushes they were warbling
[00:24.844]The violets they were charming
[00:30.251]To view fond lovers talking
[00:35.183]a while I did delay
[00:40.986]She said,my dear
[00:43.758]don't leave me not for another season
[00:51.490]Though fortune may be pleasing
[00:56.674]I 'll go along with you
[01:01.762]and I 'll giveup friends and relations
[01:05.916]and I 'll quit this Irish nation
[01:11.915]And to the bonny Bann banks forever I 'll bid adieu.
[01:22.388]He said,my dear
[01:24.830]don't grieve
[01:27.577]nor yet annoy my patience
[01:32.546]you know that I love you dearly although I'm going away
[01:42.064]I'm going to a surfing nation
[01:46.999]to purchase a plantation,
[01:52.361]To comfort us here after all in Amerikay.
[02:58.364]The landlords and their agents
[03:02.480]The bailiffs and their beagles
[03:07.559]The land of our forefathers
[03:12.713]We’re going for to giveo’er
[03:17.673]And Now we’re sailing o’er the ocean for honour and promotion
[03:27.762]And parting with our sweethearts – its them we do adore
[03:44.584]If I were you were lying I'll thinking of the dying
[03:54.990]One sight of the bonny Bann banks, and your sorrow you'd give over
[04:05.485]And if you were down one hour
[04:09.519]All in her shady bower
[04:15.578]Pleasure would surround you
[04:20.007]you'd think on death no more
[04:31.994]So fare with you well
[04:34.908]So sweet Cragie Hill
[04:38.663]where often times I've roved
[04:42.794]I never thought my childhood days I 'd part with you no more
[04:52.078]Now we‘re sailing on the ocean for honour and promotion
[05:03.142]And the bonny boats are sailing,way down by Doorin shore
