From a barque in the harbour, I went roving onshore
Went into an alehouse where I'd never been before
'Twas there I sat gambling and enjoying my glass
When who chanced to sit by me but a young Spanish
lass

She sat down beside me, kept squeezing my hand
"Young man you're

She's at the waterfront tonight,
waiting for her man.
His time in port is short
She loves him when she can
Alone in the misty night
He's hungry, restless, yearning
It's such a lonely life
The fire is in him burning

He's longing for a woman's touch,
Too many

Mon cher, qu'est-ce que tu dis
Tu dis que tu ne m'aim-es pas
Bienque tu adores mon lit
Quell dommage que c'est le cas

Aim-es-moi, ou laisse-moi m'en aller
Aim-es-moi, ou laisse-moi m'en aller

C'est pas-z-un jeu d'enfant
Nous ne comptons pas fleurette
Pourquoi

Child came home in tears today
Hurt by children's cruel, cruel play
Innocence is fading away
Far from my arms she'll stray
I want to hold her
Be a shoulder for her tears

Child
Na bach le aon rud ta se ceart go leor
Child
Sin e an domhain anois agat a stoir

Take the backseat, little girl
The man you think you love is on the make again
You'll have to prove that you're the ultimate friend
Catch him on the rebound when his new love ends.

Take the backseat, little girl
He'll only love you when he's lonely and down
Come crawlin

As I roved out one May morning, down by blackwater
side
I heard a lovely fair maid sing, which filled me with
surprise
May the heavens shine on you fair one, for that good
song you've sung
For I do wish you were my bride
Kind sir, I am too young

The younger you

Said the lord to his lady, "I am going away
Beware of Bold Lamkin, he will lead you astray"
"I don't care 'bout Lamkin, nor no other man
For my doors are fast bolted, and he cannot come in"

O the Lamkin came there 'bout the middle of the night
He called on his jewel, his ow

This bird has a broken wing
And all the rest have flown
She'll winter here alone
This bird has a broken wing

This bird has lost her voice
Her song is but a cry
Sometimes she thinks she'll die
This bird has a broken wing

This girl has a broken heart

Early spring when I was young
The birds so merrilye have sung
Was there ever a bird so happy as I?
When my young sailor lad was nigh

'Tis six long months since we were wed
The time so marrilye has fled
But tomorrow morning at the dawning of the day
The ocean presses

All quiet on the frontier, at the darkest hour
As a familiar page fell from the book of power
The stranger in the black hood we never knew nor
understood
Fled the evil tower
And its citizens, new freed slaves
In invisible chains, locked outside the cage

Is it Freedo

O where are we tonight, and where is the light
From the stars- in our eyes

O I hear the strangest music, strangest music
In the distance, the clear distance of the night
In the dark silence of the past- a world left behind

Straightway to the heart
On an arrow of light

I'll hang my harp on a willow tree
I'm off to the war again
My peaceful home holds no charms for me
Nor the battlefield no pain

The lady I love she will soon be a bride
With a diadem on her brow
O why did she flatter my boyish pride?
She's going to leave me now

If I were a star, I would fall for you
If I were the wind, I would call for you
If I were a river, I would run to you
If I were the one
If I were the one
If I were the one you loved

If I were the tide, I would turn for you
If I were a fire, I would burn for you

His lullaby, the waves outside his window
His father and himself made a wonderful pair
Five hundred years of fishing in his family
Still the government wouldn't listen when he said
"trouble down there"
It ain't funny- it ain't funny no more

Fat cat smirking in the land

Lady Margaret was sitting by her window one night
When a knock came on the door
Lady Margaret arose to see what it was
And it never was seen any more

"O is it my aged father," she said
"Or is it my brother John
Or is it my own true love
From Scotland lately come"

Lord Bateman was a noble youth
A noble youth of a high degree
And he had one of the finest warships
That ever sailed o'er the brine salt sea

Now he sailed east, and he sailed west
Until he came to well known Turkey
Where he was taken and put in prison
Until his life

Gonna dip my bucket in the well
Gonna dip my bucket in the well
I may find heaven or I may find hell
But I'll dip my bucket in the well

Gonna make that muddy water clear
Gonna make that muddy water clear
And when I do I'll face my fear
But I'll make that muddy water

As I strolled onshore one evening, from my gallant
brigantine
To the island of Jamaica, where I had lately been
So carelessly I rambled, not caring where I went
Down by some rich plantation, my course I slowly
went.

My people out in old Ireland are spending their time

Where is she going alone in the night
Down through the garden in the flickering starlight
Silver moon shining on the jewels in her hair
A tryst with her true love, whos waiting for her
there

Olivia,
Olivia's leaving this world behind
Going back to a better place in

On a wing and a prayer she went to
Steal away, steal away her love
On the wings of despair
For the one she felt would always be
Like the wind that blows from the heart of hearts
High on the sea of love
How could a child know it falls apart
Like the precious sta
