michael gallanagh - the blazing star of drung lyrics
the very first time i saw my love the stormy winds did blow
the hills and heathery mountains were covered o’er with snow
i tarried late a friend to treat which caused me for to stray
where i beheld that bonnie wee girl she stole my heart away
at the very next time i saw my love she smiled and passed me by
says i to her “my bonnie wee girl where does your dwelling lie?”
she answered me right modestly with a kind and as mild a tongue
“kind sir my habitation and my dwelling lies in drung.”
i courted her the lee long night and part of the next day
says i to her “my bonnie wee girl i’ll have you on the sea”
i asked her father for her, but he said she was too young
till the day i die i’ll ne’er deny i loved the maid from drung
“oh, nancy, you’re my fancy you’re my only joy and care
though they were very angry and would not let me near
it’s not for gold nor silver that i would value upon
i’d maintain you like a lady if you were far from drung.”
farewell to lovely derry it was there i was born and reared
likewise unto dungiven it was there i learned my trade
here’s twice farewell to my darling our ship she is going strong
and a big farewell to the bonnie wee girl she’s the blazing star of drung
