libby larsen - donal oge lyrics

Loading...

o donal oge, if you go across the sea
bring myself with you and do not forget it;
and you will have a sweetheart
for fair days and market days
and the daughter of the king of greece
beside you at night

it was late last night
the dog was speaking of you;
the snipe was speaking of you
in her deep marsh
it is you are the lonely bird through the woods;
and that you may be without a mate
until you find me

you promised me, and you said a lie to me
that you would be before me where the sheep are flocked;
i gave a whistle and three hundred cries to you
and i found nothing but a bleating lamb

you promised me a thing that was hard for you
a ship of gold under a silver mast;
twelve towns with a market in all of them
and a fine white court by the side of the sea

you promised me a thing that is not possible —
that you would give me gloves of the skin of a fish;
that you would give me shoes of the skin of a bird
and a suit of the dearest silk in ireland

o donal oge, it is i would be better for you
than a high, proud, spenthrift lady:
i would mild the cow;
i would bring help to you;
and if you were hard pressed
i would strike a blow for you

you have taken the east from me
you have taken the west from me
you have taken what is before me
and what is behind me;
you have taken the moon
you have taken the sun from me
and my fear is great
that you have taken god from me
