You maidens now pity this sorrowful moan I make |
| [00:17.94] |
I am a yong maiden in grief for my darling sake |
| [00:27.71] |
My true lovers absence in sorrow I grieve full sore |
| [00:36.90] |
And each day I lament for my Jimmy Mó Mhíle Stór |
| [00:46.03] |
|
| [00:46.28] |
Now these twelve months and better my darling |
| [00:50.04] |
has left these shores |
| [00:55.58] |
|
| [00:55.83] |
And he'll never return till he travels the wide world o'er |
| [01:05.45] |
And when he comes back he'll have silver and gold in store |
| [01:14.91] |
He's the truest of lovers my Jimmy Mó Mhíle Stór |
| [01:48.08] |
|
| [01:48.33] |
My father and mother they never will give my head peace |
| [01:57.27] |
Since my true love has left me to sail o'er the stormy seas |
| [02:06.95] |
They would give me a aweetheart with money and |
| [02:10.97] |
flocks and more |
| [02:16.46] |
But my heart o'er the ocean with Jimmy Mó Mhíle Stór |
| [02:25.65] |
|
| [02:25.90] |
I will go to the wild woods and stay there the rest of my days |
| [02:35.29] |
Where no living mortal will suffer my soul to tease |
| [02:44.72] |
And amongst the wild rowans with red berries all drooping o'er |
| [02:54.26] |
And I'll wait for my true love, Yeh, I'll wait for my true love |
| [03:03.89] |
I'll wait for my true love my Jimmy Mó Mhíle Stór |
