[00:00.00]Kilnamartyra Exile - Niamh Parsons
[00:04.67]I am a lonely exile, who left my own dear nation,
[00:14.17]To seek a situation in a land beyond the foam;
[00:23.54]I have travelled o'er the ocean,
[00:28.74]admidst hardship and through dangers,
[00:34.54]And for years I've been a stranger,
[00:39.35]to my own dear native home.
[00:44.47]Where once I lived contentedly,
[00:48.54]with friends I loved surrounding me.
[00:54.72]Care nor grief ne'er troubled me,
[00:58.91]nor made my heart feel sore,
[01:04.22]But when my days are over
[01:09.09]and I'm parted from my country,
[01:14.53]And Kilnamartyra homely face,
[01:19.78]my eyes shall see no more.
[01:26.16]It was there my heart felt happy,
[01:30.83]before I took a notion
[01:35.77]To sail across the ocean,
[01:40.52]from the land that gave me birth;
[01:45.58]Though dark and dismal clouds have
[01:50.96]cast their shadows o'er me,
[01:55.64]And I knew but pleasure only
[02:00.58]while stood on Irish earth.
[02:05.95]And though the money tempted me,
[02:10.39]far from my cabin home to flee,
[02:16.40]And sail across the stormy sea,
[02:20.40]in search of gold and store;
[02:25.90]I sailed away from Erin,
[02:30.65]far from the land that bore,
[02:36.02]And bade my friends in Ireland
[02:40.84]arewell for ever more.
[02:46.28]I have travelled through Columbia,
[02:51.27]all toil and danger storming
[02:56.52]From it's farthest eastern borders,
[03:01.27]to the westward and the deep;
[03:06.34]From its broad extended cotton fields,
[03:11.72]on the plains of Alabama,
[03:17.03]To the coal mines of Montana
[03:21.66]and Rockies wild and steep.
[03:26.72]I hunted for prosperity
[03:31.34]but still it has eluded me,
[03:37.28]and bleak misfortune followed me,
[03:41.65]no matter where I'd roam,
[03:47.22]And often in my anguish,
[03:51.84]I cursed the fate that took me,
[03:57.34]From the comrades of my boyhood
[04:01.87]and the land I loved so well.
[04:07.28]Brief boyhood recollections,
[04:12.35]Shall ever fondly bind me
[04:17.54]To the friends I left behind me,
[04:22.41]across the raging main;
[04:27.16]And to you, sweet Kilnamartyra,
[04:33.16]where one time I resided,
[04:38.90]But now I am divided
[04:43.28]by the ocean waves from thee.
[04:48.78]Now age is overtaking me
[04:53.60]and youth is fast forsaking me,
[05:00.03]And friends that once delighted me,
[05:04.59]perhaps I'll see no more,
[05:09.72]And when my days are over
[05:14.85]and death has come and taken me,
[05:21.28]I fondly will remember thee
[05:26.53]dear land that I adore.
