Lyrics

[00:27.44] Your hills and dales and flowery vales
[00:34.32] That lie near the Moorlough Shore
[00:41.28] Your winds that blow through Borden's Grove
[00:48.90] Shall I ever see you more?
[00:55.10] Where the primrose grows and the violets blow
[01:01.95] Where the trout and salmon play
[01:08.37] With my line and hook, delight I took
[01:15.67] But to spend my youthful days
[01:22.65] As I passed out to see my girl
[01:29.61] And to hear what she would say
[01:36.55] For to see if she'd take pity on me
[01:43.43] Before I would go away
[01:50.42] She said, "I vowed an Irish lad
[01:57.24] And he was my only joy
[02:03.40] And ever since I saw his face
[02:10.99] I love my soldier boy"
[02:21.45] "Perhaps your soldier boy was lost
[02:28.60] While crossing the raging main
[02:34.97] Or perhaps he has gone with some other girl
[02:42.50] You might never see him again"
[02:49.70] "Well, if my Irish boy is lost
[02:55.86] He's the one I do adore
[03:02.19] And for seven long years I'll wait for him
[03:09.67] On the banks of the Moorlough Shore"
[03:44.33] Farewell to see Clare's castles grand
[03:51.13] Farewell to foggy hills
[03:57.77] Where the beaded webs like bleaching silk
[04:04.93] And the bubbling stream runs still
[04:11.71] Near there I spent my youthful days
[04:18.88] But alas, they are all o'er
[04:25.31] And cruelty has banished me
[04:32.70] Far away from the Moorlough Shore
