[00:18.01]It being in the springtime and the small birds they were singing
[00:25.96]Down by yon shady harbour I carelessly did stray
[00:34.22]The thrushes they were warbling the violets they were charming
[00:43.07]To view fond lovers talking a while I did delay
[00:51.22]She said my dear don't leave me for another season
[01:00.33]Though fortune does be pleasing I'll go along with you
[01:08.28]I'll forsake friends and relations and bid this only nation
[01:16.68]And to the bonny Bann banks forever I'll bid adieu
[01:24.98]He said my dear don't grieve or yet annoy my patience
[01:33.73]You know I love you dearly the more I'm going away
[01:41.93]I'm going to a foreign nation to purchase a plantation
[01:50.87]To comfort us hereafter all in America
[02:01.47]
[02:14.12]Then after a short while a fortune does be pleasing
[02:22.78]It'll cause them for to smile at our late going away
[02:30.93]We'll be happy as Queen Victoria all in her greatest glory
[02:39.28]We'll be drinking wine and porter all in America
[02:48.18]If you were in your bed lying and thinking on dying
[02:56.78]The sight of the lovely Bann banks your sorrow you'd give over
[03:05.36]Or if you were down one hour down in yon shady bower
[03:13.61]Pleasure would surround you you'd think on death no more
[03:22.82]
[03:38.77]Then fare you well sweet Craigie Hill where often times I've roved
[03:47.67]I never thought my childhood days I'd part you any more
[03:55.62]Now we're sailing on the ocean for honour and promotion
[04:05.12]And the bonny boats are sailing way down by Doorin shore
