lirik lagu frank harte - sweet laurel hill

[verse 1]
when the war had oppressed every nation with horror
bold wellington he ventured his life on the main
for to pull down french tyrants and make them surrender
in defence of old ireland i ventured the same
it was on that same spot where i first parted with nancy
she says, “dearest jamie, you’ll be true to me still
until you gain the victory and return from the slaughter
i will mourn around these vallеys of sweet laurel hill.”

[verse 2]
when we landеd in spain we were almost exhausted
we were tossed by the wind and the billows so high
and pursuing our foes over yon snowy mountains
where many brave heroes were obliged for to die
but alas we survived through the great heat of battle
and over yon mountains we fought with great sk!ll
and our foes they lay bleeding in their gore all around us
but i smiled on all danger, far from laurel hill

[verse 3]
our commander being brave and we all being stout~hearted
well its france, spain and holland know what we can do
for we pulled down their batteries with the great guns of britain
and caused orphans for to mourn upon distressed waterloo
but now the wars over and all are returning
and the trumpet’s loud note it can rest for a while
and we gave up three cheers as we sailed for old ireland
and that long looked for valley in the beautiful isle
[verse 4]
and a~when we arrived at the lovely bann water
there i saw my love by the side of the mill
near the leap of coleraine where i first parted from her
for to gain britain’s valour, far from laurel hill
she appeared unto me like one dressed in deep mourning
and i asked her the reason she ranged the bann shore
she says, “my jamie’s a soldier and all are returning
but my jamie, alas, will i ne’er see him more.”

[verse 5]
“he has left me to wander these dark gloomy valleys
where the wild fox and otter do sport with good will
and the trout finds its mate in the lovely bann water
but i’ll not find my jamie around laurel hill.”
he says, “i am your jamie, your long looked for soldier
although my tongue’s altered and i’m in disguise
do you mind on old kyles flowery braes where we parted
when the trumpet’s loud note called me off in surprise?”

[verse 6]
then she fell in his arms like one pale and distracted
and the tears trickled down like the dew from the th~rn
and her eyes were inviting each one that beheld her
for to welcome her long looked for soldier’s return
and it’s there we stood viewing the ships in yon harbour
and the wild sporting angler, who’s aim was to k!ll
the young trout as they played in the lovely bann water
still adding more beauty to grace laurel hill
[verse 7]
and it is now to conclude i’ll sing wellington’s praises
an undaunted hero and an irishman still
and his name will be sounded when kings are forgotten
and ring around those valleys of sweet laurel hill
now the joybells of ireland may ring and be merry
and great shouts of gladness fill each valley and plain
we will never more part since we’ve now joined together
in that neat little cottage near the town of coleraine.
