[00:01.55]The Moorlough Shore - Sinead O'Connor
[00:15.93]Your hills and dales and flowery vales
[00:24.50]that lie near the Moorlough Shore.
[00:32.18]Your vines that blow by borden's grove.
[00:40.23]will I ever see you more
[00:47.46]
[00:48.34]Where the primrose blows
[00:52.19]and the violet grows.
[00:56.81]Where the trout and salmon play.
[01:04.49]With the line and hook, delight I took
[01:12.52]to spend my youthful days.
[01:19.20]
[01:20.39]Last night I went to see my love,
[01:28.75]and to hear what she might say.
[01:36.67]To see if she'd take pity on me,
[01:44.59]lest I might go away.
[01:51.83]
[01:52.58]She said, "I love that Irish lad,
[01:58.94]
[02:01.50]and he was my only joy,
[02:09.05]and ever since I saw his face
[02:19.13]I've loved that soldier boy."
[02:26.75]
[02:35.49]Perhaps your soldier lad is lost
[02:43.10]sailing over the sea of Maine.
[02:50.59]
[02:51.15]Or perhaps he is gone with some other lover,
[02:59.20]you may never see him again.
[03:07.18]Well if my Irish lad is lost,
[03:16.04]he's the one I do adore,
[03:23.55]and seven years I will wait for him
[03:33.76]by the banks of the Moorlough Shore.
[03:41.18]
[03:57.97]Farewell to Sinclaire's castle grand.
[04:05.96]Farewell to the foggy hill.
[04:12.25]
[04:13.81]where the linen waves like bleach-ed silk
[04:22.09]and the banching stream runs still
[04:29.86]Near there I spent my youthful days
[04:38.68]but alas they are not now mine
[04:46.30]for cru-elty has banished me
[04:54.26]far away from the Moorlough Shore.
