Текст песни Lough Sheelin Side - Foster , Allen

Farewell old Ireland, a long farewell
My ship is ready no time can tell
For I must go for the ocean wide
From my cottage home by Lough Sheelin side

It was at the dance in the village green
I met young Eileen my own cailin
I took young Eileen my fond young bride
To my cottage home by Lough Sheelin side

But our good dreams were too good to last
The landlord came our home to blast
And he no mercy on us did show
As he turned us out in the blinding snow

Will no one open to us a door
In case that vengeance on them might fall
'Twas there she fainted 'twas there she died
As the snow fell fast by Lough Sheelin side

They dug her grave in the churchyard low
It was in the springtime when the daisies grow
Sad tears were shed for my fond young bride
Who's sleeping now by Lough Sheelin side

Farewell old Ireland and Eileen too
My ship is ready I bid adieu
For I must leave for the ocean wide
From my true loves grave by Lough Sheelin side

End
