Molly Brannigan - John McCormack (麦考梅克)
Ma'am dear did ye never hear of pretty Molly Brannigan
In troth then she's left me and I'll never be a man again
Not a spot on my hide will a summer's sun e'er tan again
Since Molly's gone and left me here alone for to die
The place where my heart was you'd aisy rowl a turnip in
Tis large as all Dublin and from Dublin to the
If she'd wish'd to take another sure she might have
Left mine back again
And not have gone and left me here alone for to die
Ma'am dear I remember when the milking time was past and gone
We strolled thro' the meadow and she swore I was the only one
That ever she could love but oh the base and cruel one
For all I that she's left me here alone for to die
Ma'am dear I remember when coming home the rain began
I wrapt my frieze-coat round her and ne'er a waistcoat
Had I on
And my shirt was rather fine-drawn but oh the false
And cruel one
For all that she's left me here alone for to die
The left side of my carcase is as weak as water gruel ma'am
There's not a pick upon my bones since Molly's proved
So cruel ma'am
Oh if I had a blunder gun I'd go and fight a duel ma'am
For sure I'd better shoot myself than live here to die
I'm cool an' determined as any salamander ma'am
Won't you come to my wake when I go the long meander ma'am
I'll think myself as valiant as the famous Alexander ma'am
When I hear ye cryin' o'er me Arrah why did ye die
