作词 : MacGowan
 As I walked down by the riverside
 One evening in the spring
 Heard a long gone song
 From days gone by
 Blown in on the great North wind
 Though there no lonesome corncrake's cry
 Or sorrow and delight
 You can hear the cars
 And the shouts from bars
 And the laughter and the fights
 May the ghosts that howled
 Round the house at night
 Never keep you from your sleep
 May they all sleep tight
 Down in hell tonight
 Or where ever they may be
 As I walked on with a heavy heart
 Then a stone danced on the tide
 And the song went on
 Though the lights were gone
 And the North wind gently sighed
 And an evening breeze coming from the East
 That kissed the riverside
 So I pray now child that you sleep tonight
 When you hear my lullaby
 May the wind that blows from haunted graves
 Never bring you misery
 May the angels bright
 Watch you tonight
 And keep you while you sleep
