[00:06] The dames of France are fond and free.
[00:09] And Flemish lips are willing,
[00:11] And soft the maids of Italy,
[00:15] And Spanish eyes are thrilling;
[00:18] Still, though I bask beneath their smile,
[00:20] Their charms fail to bind me.
[00:23] And my heart falls back to Erin's Isle,
[00:26] To the girl I left behind me.
[00:32] For she's as fair as Shannon's side,
[00:35] And purer than its water.
[00:38] But she refused to be my bride
[00:42] Though many a year I sought her.
[00:45] Yet, since to France I sailed away,
[00:47] Her letters oft remind me
[00:51] That I promised never to gainsay
[00:54] The girl I left behind me.
[01:00] She says, "My own dear love, come home,
[01:03] My friends are rich and many,
[01:06] Or else abroad with you I'll roam
[01:09] A soldier stout as any;
[01:12] If you'll not come, nor let me go,
[01:15] I'll think you have resigned me.”
[01:18] My heart nigh broke when I answered,"No!”
[01:21] To the girl I left behind me.
[01:27] For never shall my true love brave
[01:30] A life of war and toiling;
[01:33] And never as a skulking slave
[01:36] I'll tread my native soil on;
[01:39] But were it free or to be freed,
[01:42] The battle close would find me
[01:45] To Ireland bound nor message need
[01:48] From the girl I left behind me.
[00:09] And Flemish lips are willing,
[00:11] And soft the maids of Italy,
[00:15] And Spanish eyes are thrilling;
[00:18] Still, though I bask beneath their smile,
[00:20] Their charms fail to bind me.
[00:23] And my heart falls back to Erin's Isle,
[00:26] To the girl I left behind me.
[00:32] For she's as fair as Shannon's side,
[00:35] And purer than its water.
[00:38] But she refused to be my bride
[00:42] Though many a year I sought her.
