dàibhidh stiùbhard - john adair lyrics
oh nellie come away with me, beyond the leaf and fern
the rural home i have for you, convenient to lough erne
the lark has risen from her nest, and wild flowers scent the air
while resting on this faithful breast, you’re free from john adair
oh willie do not speak to me, of peace or happy homes
my parents have been dispossesed, this weary world to roam
sad dreary thoughs appease my mind. i’m almost in despair
from happy homes we now must part, forced out by john adair
he brought the sheriff to our door, and quenched our fire so bright
my aged grandsire is no more. he died that fateful night
my mummy keens; her only son, a boy of beauty rare
just four months old, so meek and mild, all done by john adair
for fifty weary years our race has tilled this mountainside
and smoothed glenveagh’s once rugged paths and stemmed the atlantic tide
full fifty homes are levelled now, and wild cries rend the air
may fifty thousand curses fall on cruel john adair
this couple took one last lingering look, and parted no more to meet
young willie lies beyond the sea, without a winding sheet;
but nellie’s duty made her stay, her aged parents to care
with broken heart she pines away, her death on john adair
