Craigie Hill (克雷吉山) - Cara Dillon (卡拉·迪伦)

It being in the springtime and the small birds they were singing

Down by yon shady harbour I carelessly did stray

The thrushes they were warbling

The violets they were charming

To view fond lovers talking a while I did delay

She said my dear don't leave me for another season

Though fortune does be pleasing I'll go along with you

I'll forsake friends and relations and bid this Irish nation

And to the bonny Bann banks forever I'll bid adieu

He said my dear don't grieve or yet annoy my patience

You know I love you dearly the more I'm going away

I'm going to a foreign nation to purchase a plantation

To comfort us hereafter all in America

Then after a short while a fortune does be pleasing

I'll cause them for two smile at our late going away

We'll be happy as Queen Victoria all in her greatest glory

We'll be drinking wine and porter all in America

If you were in your bed lying and thinking on dying

The sight of the lovely Bann banks your sorrow you'd give o'er

Or if you're down one hour down in yon shady bower

Pleasure would surround you you'd think on death no more

Then fare you well sweet Cragie Hills where often times I've roved

I never thought my childhood days I'd part you any more

Now we're sailing on the ocean for honour and promotion

And the bonny boats are sailing way down by Doorin shore
