Текст песни с аккордами
Вступление
E A E E/G#
When first to this country a stranger I came,
B A B
I placed my affections on a maid that was young,
C#m A E A
She being young and tender, her waist was small and slender,
E A B E
Kind Nature had formed her for my overthrow.
E A E E/G#
On the banks of the Bann, where I first beheld her,
B A B
She appeared like fair Juno or a Grecian queen,
C#m A E A
Her eyes shone like diamonds, her hair softly twining,
E A B E
Her cheeks were like roses or blood drips in snow.
E A E E/G#
'Twas her cruel parents that first caused our variance,
B A B
All because I was poor and of a low degree,
C#m A E A
But I'll do my endeavour to gain my love's favour,
E A B E
Although she is come from a rich family.
E A E E/G#
My name is Delaney, a name that won't shame me,
B A B
And if I had saved money, I'd have plenty in store,
C#m A E A
But drinking and courting, night rambling and sporting,
E A B E
Are the cause of my ruin and absence from home.
E A E E/G#
Had I all the money that's in the West Indies,
B A B
Or had I the gold of the African shore,
C#m A E A
I would spend it on pearls and on you my brown girl,
E A B E
For there's no other love on this earth I adore.
E A E E/G#
Now since I have gained her I'm contented for life,
B A B
I'll put rings on her fingers and gold in her ear.
C#m A E A
We'll live on the banks of the lovely Bann river,
E A B E
And in all sorts of splendour I'll style her my dear.
