o'driscoll - the clancy brothers & tommy makem lyrics

Loading...

o’driscoll drove with a song
the wild duck and the drake
from the tall and the tufted reeds
of the drear hart lake

and he saw how the reeds grew dark
at the coming of night*tide
and dreamed of the long dim hair
of bridget his bride

he heard while he sang and dreamed
a piper piping away
and never was piping so sad
and never was piping so g*y

and he saw young men and young girls
who danced on a level place
and bridget his bride among them
with a sad and a g*y face

the dancеrs crowded about him
and many a sweet thing said
and a young man brought him red wine
and a young girl whitе bread

but bridget drew him by the sleeve
away from the merry bands
to old men playing at cards
with a twinkling of ancient hands
the bread and the wine had a doom
for these were the host of the air
he sat and played in a dream
of her long dim hair

he played with the merry old men
and thought not of evil chance
until one bore bridget his bride
away from the merry dance

he bore her away in his arms
the handsomest young man there
and his neck and his breast and his arms
were drowned in her long dim hair

o’driscoll scattered the cards
and out of his dream awoke
old men and young men and young girls
were gone like a drifting smoke

but he heard high up in the air
a piper piping away
and never was piping so sad
and never was piping so g*y
