The Moorlough Shore lyrics
Song information
Artist: Sinead O'connor Album: Sean-Nos Nua
Lyrics
Your hills and dales and flowery vales That lie near the moorlough shore Your winds that blow by borden's grove Will I ever see you more
Where the primrose blows And the violet grows Where the trout and salmon play
With line and hook delight I took To spend my youthful days Last night I went to see my love And to hear what she might say
To see if she'd take pity on me Lest I might go away She said, "i love an irish lad And he was my only joy And ever since I saw his face I've loved that soldier boy."
Perhaps your soldier lad is lost Sailing over the sea of maine Or perhaps he is gone with some other lover You may never see him again Well if my irish lad is lost He's the one I do adore And seven years I will wait for him By the banks of the moorlough shore
Farewell to sinclaire's castle grand Farewell to the foggy hill Where the linen worms like bleaching silk And the bodies stream unstill Near there I spent my youthful days But alas they are no more For cruelty has banished me Far away from the moorlough shore
