dónal óg - dervish lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
o dónal óg when you cross the ocean
take me with you when you are going
at fair or market you’ll be well looked after
and you shall sleep with the greek king’s daughter

[verse 2]
my mother ordered me to shun you
today tomorrow and on sunday
too late, in vain o’er spilt milk grieving
closing the door on a bygone thieving

[verse 3]
if you come at all, come when stars are peeping
rap the door that makes no squeaking
my mother will ask you to name your people
and i’ll say t’was the night wind weeping

[verse 4]
the first kiss came and from no craven
the second kiss came on top the stairway
the third kiss came as down you lay me
but for that one night, i’d be still a maiden
[verse 5]
oh dónal óg you’ll not find me lazy
not like some high*born expensive lady
i’ll do your milking and i’ll nurse your baby
and if beset on i’ll defend you bravely

[verse 6]
you said you’d meet me but you were lying
beside the sheep shed as day was dying
i whistled and called you twelve times repeating
but all that i heard was the young lambs bleating

[verse 7]
you took what’s before me and what’s behind me
took east and west when you wouldn’t find me
sun, moon and stars you have taken
and god himself if i’m not mistaken
