[00:00.00]Craigie Hill - Cara Dillon
[00:17.63]It being in the springtime and the small birds they were singing
[00:26.07]Down by yon shady harbour I carelessly did stray
[00:34.52]The thrushes they were warbling
[00:39.09]The violets they were charming
[00:43.06]To view fond lovers talking a while I did delay
[00:51.38]She said my dear don't leave me for another season
[01:00.25]Though fortune does be pleasing I'll go along with you
[01:08.44]I'll forsake friends and relations and bid this Irish nation
[01:17.00]And to the bonny Bann banks forever I'll bid adieu
[01:25.36]He said my dear don't grieve or yet annoy my patience
[01:34.09]You know I love you dearly the more I'm going away
[01:42.37]I'm going to a foreign nation to purchase a plantation
[01:50.79]To comfort us hereafter all in America
[02:14.20]Then after a short while a fortune does be pleasing
[02:22.82]I'll cause them for two smile at our late going away
[02:31.19]We'll be happy as Queen Victoria all in her greatest glory
[02:39.66]We'll be drinking wine and porter all in America
[02:48.07]If you were in your bed lying and thinking on dying
[02:56.92]The sight of the lovely Bann banks your sorrow you'd give o'er
[03:05.19]Or if you're down one hour down in yon shady bower
[03:14.01]Pleasure would surround you you'd think on death no more
[03:39.17]Then fare you well sweet Cragie Hills where often times I've roved
[03:47.78]I never thought my childhood days I'd part you any more
[03:56.05]Now we're sailing on the ocean for honour and promotion
[04:05.46]And the bonny boats are sailing way down by Doorin shore
