歌詞
[Verse 1]
One evening for pleasure I rambled
On the banks of some cold purling stream
I sat down on a bed of primroses
And I gently fell into a dream
[Verse 2]
I dreamt that I saw a fair female
Her equal I never saw before
And I sighed for the loss of our country
As we stray there on Ireland's green shore
[Verse 3]
Her cheeks were like two blooming roses
Her teeth were like ivory so white
Her eyes shone like two sparkling diamonds
Or the stars on some cold frosty night
[Verse 4]
She was dressed in the richest attire
And green was the man that she wore
All bound down with the hemlocks and the roses
As we stray there on Ireland's green shore
[Verse 5]
Transgression of joy I awoken
And I found this was only a dream
That pretty fair female had fled me
And I longed to be slumbering again
[Verse 6]
May the heavens above be her guardian
Though I know I'll never see her anymore
May the goldliest sunbeam shine upon her
As she lie sleeping on Ireland's green shore
[Verse 7]
One evening for pleasure I rambled
On the banks of some cold purling stream
I sat down on a bed of primroses
And I gently fell into a dream
