lirik lagu blantyre explosion - frank harte

[verse 1]
by clyde’s bonny banks, as i sadly did wander
near the village of blantyre as evening drew nigh
i spied a fair maiden all dressed in deep mourning
she was weeping and wailing with many’s a sigh
i stepped up to her and thus i addressed her
“pray, tell me, fair maid, of your sorrow and pain.”
oh, sobbing and sighing, at last she made answer
“johnny murphy, kind sir, was my true lover’s name”

[verse 2]
“twenty~one years of age, full of youth and good~looking
to work down the mines of high blantyre he came
the wedding was fixed all the guests wеre invited
that calm summer’s еvening my johnny was slain
the explosion was heard, all the women and children
with pale anxious faces, they haste to the mine
when the truth was made known the hills rang with their mourning
two hundred and ten young miners were slain”

[verse 3]
“the month of october i long will remember
in his full health and strength to his labours did go
but on that fatal morning without any warning
two hundred and ten in cold death were laid low
now, husbands and wives and sweethearts and brothers
that blantyre explosion they will never forget
and all you young miners that hear my sad story?
shed a tear for the victims who are laid to their rest.”
[verse 4]
“but the spring it will come with the flowers of the summer
that bloom in the wildness so lovely and fair
i will gather the snowdrops, primroses and daisies
round my true lover’s grave i will transplant them there
well, they say it’s not fit for the dead to be grieving
but there’s nothing but sorrow bestowed upon me
he has gone from this world but a short time before me
and i hope i’ll rejoin him in eternity.”
