[00:17.58]It being in the springtime and the small birds they were singing,
[00:26.06]Down by yon shady harbour I carelessly did stray,
[00:34.28]The the thrushes they were warbling,
[00:39.18]The violets they were charming
[00:42.66]To view fond lovers talking, a while I did delay.
[00:51.16]She said, my dear don't leave me all for another season,
[00:59.82]Though fortune does be pleasing I 'll go along with you,
[01:07.97]I 'll forsake friends and relations and bid this Irish nation,
[01:16.61]And to the bonny Bann banks forever I 'll bid adieu.
[01:25.10]He said, my dear don't grieve or yet annoy my patience,
[01:33.76]You know I love you dearly the more I'm going away,
[01:41.85]I'm going to a foreign nation to purchase a plantation,
[01:50.42]To comfort us hereafter all in Amerika y.
[02:13.60]Then after a short while a fortune does be pleasing,
[02:22.40]T'will cause them for smile at our late going away,
[02:30.47]We'll be happy as Queen Victoria, all in her greatest glory,
[02:38.92]We'll be drinking wine and porter all in Amerika y.
[02:47.87]If you were in your bed lying and thinking on dying,
[02:56.01]The sight of the lovely Bann banks, your sorrow you'd give o'er,
[03:04.28]Or if were down one hour, down in yon shady bower,
[03:13.26]Pleasure would surround you, you'd think on death no more.
[03:38.07]Then fare you well, sweet Craigie Hills, where often times I've roved,
[03:46.77]I never thought my childhood days I 'd part you any more,
[03:54.89]Now we're sailing on the ocean for honour and promotion,
[04:04.48]And the bonny boats are sailing, way down by Doorin shore.
