Bear and the Maiden
A bear there was, a bear, a bear! All black and brown, and covered with hair. The bear! The bear! Oh come they said, oh come to the fair! The fair? Said he, but I'm a bear! All black and brown, and covered with hair! And down the road from here to there. From here! To there! Three boys, a goat and a dancing bear! They danced and spun, all the way to the fair! The fair! The fair! Oh, sweet she was, and pure and fair! The maid with honey in her hair! Her hair! Her hair! The maid with honey in her hair! The bear smelled the scent on the summer air. The bear! The bear! All black and brown and covered with hair! He smelled the scent on the summer air! He sniffed and roared and smelled it there! Honey on the summer air! Oh, I'm a maid, and I'm pure and fair! I'll never dance with a hairy bear! A bear! A bear! I'll never dance with a hairy bear! The bear, the bear! Lifted her high into the air! The bear! The bear! I called for a knight, but you're a bear! A bear, a bear! All black and brown and covered with hair She kicked and wailed, the maid so fair, But he licked the honey from her hair. Her hair! Her hair! He licked the honey from her hair! Then she sighed and squealed and kicked the air! My bear! She sang. My bear so fair! And off they went, from here to there, The bear, the bear, and the maiden fair. Whiskey in the jar
As I was a goin' over the far famed Kerry mountains I met with Captain Farrell and his money he was counting I first produced my pistol and I then produced my rapier Saying "stand and deliver" for he were a bold deceiver Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da Whack for my daddy-o Whack for my daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny I put it in me pocket and I took it home to Jenny She sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me But the devil take the women for they never can be easy Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da Whack for my daddy-o Whack for my daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar I went up to my chamber, all for to take a slumber I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure 't was no wonder But Jenny drew me charges and she filled them up with water Then sent for captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da Whack for my daddy-o Whack for my daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar The parting glass
Of all the money that e'er I had I spent it in good company And all the harm I've ever done Alas it was to none but me And all I've done for want of wit To mem'ry now I can't recall So fill to me the parting glass Good night and joy be to you all So fill to me the parting glass And drink a health whate’er befall, And gently rise and softly call Good night and joy be to you all Of all the comrades that e'er I had They're sorry for my going away And all the sweethearts that e'er I had They'd wish me one more day to stay But since it fell unto my lot That I should rise and you should not I gently rise and softly call Good night and joy be to you all A man may drink and not be drunk A man may fight and not be slain A man may court a pretty girl And perhaps be welcomed back again But since it has so ought to be By a time to rise and a time to fall Come fill to me the parting glass Good night and joy be with you all Good night and joy be with you all The Rose of Tralee
The pale moon was rising above the green mountain, The sun was declining beneath the blue sea; When I strayed with my love to the pure crystal fountain, That stands in the beautiful Vale of Tralee. She was lovely and fair as the rose of the summer, Yet 'twas not her beauty alone that won me; Oh no, 'twas the truth in her eyes ever dawning, That made me love Mary, the Rose of Tralee. The cool shades of evening their mantle were spreading, And Mary all smiling was listening to me; The moon through the valley her pale rays was shedding, When I won the heart of the Rose of Tralee. Though lovely and fair as the Rose of the summer, Yet 'twas not her beauty alone that won me; Oh no, 'twas the truth in her eyes ever dawning, That made me love Mary the Rose of Tralee. In the far fields of India, 'mid war's dreadful thunders, Her voice was a solace and comfort to me, But the chill hand of death has now rent us asunder, I'm lonely tonight for the Rose of Tralee. She was lovely and fair as the rose of the summer, Yet 'twas not her beauty alone that won me; Oh no, 'twas the truth in her eyes ever dawning, That made me love Mary,The Rose of Tralee |
The Willow Maid
A young man walked through the forest With his quiver and hunting bow He heard a young girl singing And followed the sound below There he found the maiden Who lives in the willow He called to her as she listened From a ring of toadstools red "Come with me, my maiden Come from thy willow bed" She looked at him serenely And only shook her head "See me now A ray of light in the moondance See me now I cannot leave this place Hear me now A strain of song in the forest Don't ask me To follow where you lead" A young man walked through the forest With a flower and coat of green His love had hair like fire Her eyes an emerald sheen She wrapped herself in beauty So young and so serene He stood there under the willow And he gave her the yellow bloom "Girl, my heart you've captured Oh, I would be your groom" She said she'd wed him never Not near, nor far, nor soon [Chorus] A young man walked through the forest With an axe sharp as a knife "I'll take the green-eyed fairy And she shall be my wife With her I'll raise my children With her I'll live my life" The maiden wept when she heard him When he said he'd set her free He took his axe and used it To bring down her ancient tree "Now your willow's fallen Now you belong to me" [Chorus] She followed him out the forest And collapsed upon the earth Her feet had walked but a distance From the green land of her birth Scarborough Fair
Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Remember me to one who lives there For once she was a true love of mine Have her make me a cambric shirt Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Without no seam nor fine needle work And then she'll be a true love of mine Tell her to weave it in a sycamore wood lane Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme And gather it all with a basket of flowers And then she'll be a true love of mine Have her wash it in yonder dry well Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme where water ne'er sprung nor drop of rain fell And then she'll be a true love of mine Have her find me an acre of land Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Between the sea foam and over the sand And then she'll be a true love of mine Plow the land with the horn of a lamb Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Then sow some seeds from north of the dam And then she'll be a true love of mine Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme And gather it all in a bunch of heather And then she'll be a true love of mine If she tells me she can't, I'll reply Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Let me know that at least she will try And then she'll be a true love of mine Love imposes impossible tasks Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Though not more than any heart asks And I must know she's a true love of mine Dear, when thou has finished thy task Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Come to me, my hand for to ask For thou then art a true love of mine Greensleeves
Alas, my love, you do me wrong To cast me off discourteously For I have loved you well and long Delighting in your company Greensleeves was all my joy Greensleeves was my delight Greensleeves was my heart of gold And who but my lady greensleeves Your vows you've broken, like my heart Oh, why did you so enrapture me? Now I remain in a world apart But my heart remains in captivity [Chorus] I have been ready at your hand To grant whatever you would crave I have both wagered life and land Your love and good-will for to have [Chorus] If you intend thus to disdain It does the more enrapture me And even so, I still remain A lover in captivity [Chorus] My men were clothed all in green And they did ever wait on thee; All this was gallant to be seen And yet thou wouldst not love me [Chorus] Thou couldst desire no earthly thing But still thou hadst it readily Thy music still to play and sing; And yet thou wouldst not love me [Chorus] Well, I will pray to God on high That thou my constancy mayst see And that yet once before I die Thou wilt vouchsafe to love me The Skye boat song
Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing, Onward! the sailors cry; Carry the lad that's born to be King Over the sea to Skye. Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar, Thunderclaps rend the air; Baffled, our foes stand by the shore, Follow they will not dare. [Chorus] Though the waves leap, soft shall ye sleep, Ocean's a royal bed. Rocked in the deep, Flora will keep Watch by your weary head. [Chorus] Many’s the lad, fought in that day Well the claymore did wield; When the night came, silently lay Dead on Cullodens field. [Chorus] Burned are their homes, exile and death Scatter the loyal men; Yet ere the sword cool in the sheath Charlie will come again. |
