the sands of dee - michael william balfe lyrics

Loading...

“o mary, go and call the cattle home
and call the cattle home
and call the cattle home
across the sands o’ dee;”
the western wind was wild and dank wi’ foam
and all alone went she

the creeping tide came up along the sand
and o’er and o’er the sand
and round and round the sand
as far as eye could see;
the blinding mist came down and hid the land**
and never home came she

“oh, is it weed, or fish, or floating hair**
a tress o’ golden hair
o’ drowned maiden’s hair
above the nets at sea?
was never salmon yet that shone so fair
among the stakes on dee.”

they rowed her in across the rolling foam
the cruel crawling foam
the cruel hungry foam
to her grave beside the sea:
but still the boatmen hear her call the cattle home
across the sands o’ dee
