susan mckeown - john coughlin lyrics
as i was a+smoking, my pipe in my hand
i said, “johnny coughlin, you’re a handsome young man;
if you’ll take this bounty and come along with me
from the sweet county carlow, strange faces to see.”
put my hand in my pocket, one shilling i drew
“take this, johnny coughlin, in hopes you’ll prove true.”
and when he took the money the bargain was made
five ribbons he bought her for her bonnet so g+y
“you can go where you’ve a mind to
i have no one to mourn
my mother is dead and will never return;
my father got married, a step+mother brought in
unto me shе proved cruel and i’ll not call her kin.”
how happy is thе mother who never reared a son
how little did she ever think what hardships would come;
not a quilt nor a blanket for to cover my skin
but an old broken sentry+box where the tide drifted in
here’s adieu to county carlow and the girl i adore
here’s adieu to county carlow where the big ships do roar;
where the small trout and salmon on the sandy banks lie
with my hooks and small line to catch them i’d try
