Here's a health to you bonny Kellswater |
| [00:18.60] |
Where you get all the pleasures of life |
| [00:25.11] |
Where you get all the fishing and fowling |
| [00:31.74] |
And a bonny wee lass for your wife. |
| [00:37.58] |
|
| [00:38.17] |
Oh it's down where yon waters run muddy |
| [00:44.43] |
I'm afraid they will never run clear |
| [00:50.87] |
And it's when I begin for to study |
| [00:57.31] |
My mind is on him that's not here. |
| [01:02.55] |
|
| [01:03.63] |
And it's this one and that one may court him |
| [01:09.83] |
But if any one gets him but me |
| [01:16.05] |
It's early and late I will curse them |
| [01:22.48] |
The parting lovely Willie from me. |
| [01:28.07] |
|
| [01:28.71] |
Oh a father he calls on his daughter |
| [01:34.79] |
Two choices I'll give unto thee |
| [01:41.17] |
Would you rather see Willie's ship a'sailing |
| [01:47.39] |
See him hung like a dog on yonder tree. |
| [01:52.98] |
|
| [02:06.03] |
Oh father, dear father, I love him |
| [02:12.11] |
I can no longer hide it from thee |
| [02:18.30] |
Through an acre of fire I would travel |
| [02:24.56] |
Along with the lovely Willie to be. |
| [02:30.12] |
|
| [02:30.77] |
Oh hard was the heartbreak I'm finding |
| [02:36.84] |
She took from her full heart's delight |
| [02:43.33] |
May the chains of old Ireland come find them |
| [02:49.97] |
And softly their pillows at night. |
| [02:55.74] |
|
| [02:56.57] |
Oh yonder there's a ship on the ocean |
| [03:02.19] |
And she does not know which way to steer |
| [03:08.77] |
From the east and the west she's a'blowing |
| [03:14.69] |
She reminds me of the charms of my dear. |
| [03:20.60] |
|
| [03:21.26] |
Oh it's yonder my Willie will be coming |
| [03:26.91] |
He said he'd be here in the spring |
| [03:33.45] |
And it's down by yon green shades I'll meet him |
| [03:39.92] |
And among wild roses we'll sing. |
| [03:45.68] |
|
| [03:46.34] |
For a gold ring he placed on my finger |
| [03:52.48] |
Saying love hear this in your mind |
| [03:58.99] |
If ever I sail from old Ireland |
| [04:05.42] |
You'll mind I'll not leave you behind. |
| [04:12.58] |
|
| [04:24.05] |
Here's a health to you bonny Kellswater |
| [04:30.11] |
Where you get all the pleasures of life |
| [04:36.27] |
Where you get all the fishing and fowling |
| [04:42.65] |
And a bonny wee lass for your wife. |
| [04:49.17] |
|
| [05:00.70] |
|
| [05:14.52] |
END |
