Craigie Hill
It being in the springtime and the small birds they were singing
Downby yon shady harbour I carelessly did stray
Thethrushes they were warbling, the violets they were charming
Toview fond lovers talking, a while I did delay
Shesaid, my dear don't leave me all for another season
Thoughfortune does be pleasing I'll go along with you
I'llforsake friends and relations and bid this Irish Nation
Andto the bonny Bann banks forever I'll bid adieu
Hesaid, my dear don't grieve or yet annoy my patience
Youknow I love you dearly the more I'm going away
I'mgoing to a foreign nation to purchase a plantation
Tocomfort us hereafter all in America
Thenafter a short while a fortune does be pleasing
“Twillcause them for to smile at our late going away
We'llbe happy as Queen Victoria, all in her greatest glory
We'llbe drinking wine and porter, all in America
Ifyou were in your bed lying and thinking on dying
Thesight of the lovely Bann banks your sorrow you'd give o'er
Orif were down one hour, down in yon shady bower
Pleasurewould surround you, you'd think on death no more
Thenfare you well, sweet Craigie Hill, where often times I've roved
Inever thought my childhood days I'd part you any more
Nowwe're sailing on the ocean for honour and promotion
Andthe bonny boats are sailing, way down
Down
