letra de brockagh brae - george hanna & sarah anne o'neill

[verse 1]
one night as i lay slumbering in my silent bed alone
some rakish thoughts came in my head and it caused me for to roam
for to leave my native country and the wee girl i adore
so i thought it fit to take a trip, strange lands for to explore

[verse 2]
now the night before that i went away i was walking up brockagh hill
when i met my darling upon the road and her eyes with tears did fill
“stay you at home, dear john,” she said, “and do not go away
for i’ll have none to comfort me when you are on the sea.”

[verse 3]
well, i took her by the lily-white hands and i held her hard and fast
saying, “adieu, my darling, i must obey for my ship lies in belfast
but if you prove loyal, sure, i’ll prove true for you know that i’m well inclined.”
so we kissed, shook hands, and parted and i left my wee girl behind

[verse 4]
now, when i landed in belfast, sure, our ship she was in full sail
away she went down the lough with a soft and pleasant gale
she was sailing o’er the ocean where her foaming billows roar
so with thanks be to the heavens above that we landed safe on shore

[verse 5]
now when i landed in greendock, sure, the people all gathered around
they said i was a rakish lad come to cut the harvest down
they told me to return home and never no more to be seen
so without delay, sure, i sail straightaway for erin’s lovely green
[verse 6]
now, when mary heard that her john was home her heart it did beat with joy
saying, “come into my arms, you’re my darling lovely boy.”
saying, “come into my arms, for you i have thought a great long
so let them all say as they will; our wedding it will go on.”

[verse 7]
now, brockagh brae’s a nice wee place where nice wee girls live in
you would swear they were the nightingales when they set down to sing
where the salmon trout all sport about round lough neagh’s verdant shore
so let them all say as they will; you are mine for ever more
