lirik lagu frank harte - johnny doyle
[verse 1]
you sons of dan o’connell’s guard
give ear unto my doteful ditty
’tis all abuot a sailor lad
whose birthplace was in dublin city
[verse 2]
my song is for to demonstrate
a story with a pius moral
beginning close to carlisle bridge
and ending on the isles of coral
[verse 3]
well, a scooner sailed from george’s quay
’twas on a saltry summer season
and on the shore a maiden stood
and wept like one bereft of reason
[verse 4]
“ah johnny doyle, me love for you
is true but full of deep contrition
for what will all the neighbours say
about meself and my condition”
[verse 5]
well the capstans turned and sails unfurled
the scooner started down the liffey
the maid then gave a piercing wail
she was a mother in a jiffy
[verse 4]
the vessel crossed the harbour bar
her course was set for foreign waters
to china where they are very wise
and drown at birth their surplus daughters
[verse 5]
now years and years have passed and gone
and mary’s child is self supporting
and mary’s heart is fit to break
when that young buck goes out a~courting
[verse 6]
and so she says, “on one fine day
he’ll leave me ‘lone and melancholy
so i’ll dress meself in sailor’s clothes
and i’ll scoure the seven seas for johnny”
[verse 7]
well, she shipped on board of a pirate boat
that raided on the hot equator
and with these hairy buccaneers
there sailed a sweet and virtuos creature
[verse 8]
the captain thought her name was bill
his character was most nefarious
consortin’ with this heinous beast
her situation was most precarious
[verse 9]
now ’twas in the hot saragosa sea
where rakish barques were idly rollin’
and mary in the middle watch
the quarter deck she was patrolling
[verse 10]
she calmy watched a neighbour ship
then suddenly became exclaiment
for there upon that gilded p~~p
stood mister doyle in gorgeous raiment
[verse 11]
and now they’re back in sweet ringsend
the gem that sparkles on the dodder
he leads a peaceful merchants life
a does a trade in oats and fodder
[verse 12]
by marriage lines she’s mrs doyle
she keeps a stall of periwinkles
and when johnny hears she is that~a way
his single eye with joy it twinkles
[verse 13]
their family now, it numbers ten
and mary’s heart sings like a linnet
and johnny’s tamed that wild young buck
that stretched her patience to the limit
[verse 14]
they’re happy there in sweet ringsend
they’ll sail no more for foreign waters
for johnny doyle his hands are full
with five strong son, and five sweet daughters
