Meav – Newry Boat-song (In English) lyrics
Album: Silver Sea
Chorus (after each verse):
He is my dark brown lad
You are my beloved darling
He is my dark brown lad
It was last night I couldn't sleep
I was awake for a long time
Thinking of the man that forsook me
Who didn't keep his promise
He's gone, he's gone, my lover's gone
And left me broken hearted
I heard, Donald
That you got married in Newry
Domhnall Donn the people say
You've married down in Newry
I would prefer to be married to you
Than to have the Prince's gold
I would rather have you, Donall
Than the gold of princes
Alas how I am tonight
Sighing heavily as I long for you
