frank harte - miss brown lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
oh in dublin’s fair city, in dublin’s fair town
in dublin’s fair city, there dwelt a miss brown
and she courted a sailor for seven long years
and from the beginning, he called her his dear

[verse 2]
and one morning very early, all by the break of the day
he came to her cottage and to her did say:
“rise up, lovely mary, and come along with me
strange things they will happen; and strange sights things we will see.”

[verse 3]
well he took her over mountain;and he took her over dell
and she heard through the morning the sound of a bell
all over the ocean, all over the sea
ye fair maids of dublin, take warning from me

[verse 4]
“o sailor, o sailor, come spare me my life,”
when out of his pocket, he drew a sharp knife
and he ripped her and tore her and cut her in three
then he laid his poor mary underneath a green tree

[verse 5]
oh green grows the laurel and red grows the rose
and the raven will follow, wherever he goes;
a cloud will hang over this murderer’s head
he shall never rest easy now that mary be dead
