lirik lagu frank harte - the lambeg drummer (masters of tradition)
[verse 1]
i met her on a far greek isle
our accents irish, a glance, a smile
the girl i could not love at home
i loved in greece and later, rome
all through france and the dust of spain
oh christ i’ll never love like that again
all through that long hot pagan summer
now she’s the wife of a lambeg drummer
[verse 2]
she touched my cheek in brittany
“’tis a shame you’re mick, not sam”, said she
“or cecil, stewart, ian, rob or
ivan, billy, jack or bob
you’re locked inside some fenian dream
you long for things that might have been
but let’s not waste what’s left of summеr
before i wed my lambеg drummer.”
[verse 3]
sometimes i’d watch her while she’d sleep
from firelight soft to shadows deep
and wonder why sly cupid’s dart
must miss the head and wound the heart
and i knew it all too soon would end
two hearts not lost, just out on lend
and one day i’d reclaim mine from her
and set her’s free, for her lambeg drummer
[verse 4]
we wandered a deserted beach
though i held her hand she was out of reach
side by side though both alone
we talked about the news from home
and i knew ‘twas time for letting go
of this sweet and most beloved foe
for her ears were tuned to a tribal thunder
that brought her home to her lambeg drummer
[verse 5]
in a drab dutch town we said goodbye
i had to hitch, she chose to fly
it was only as she turned to go
i told her what she had to know
that had she been mary, breege or kate
we’d have walked together through the airport gate
and i’d never more be parted from her
by time or tide or a lambeg drummer
[verse 6]
then i watched the orange twelfth parade
i was half impressed and half dismayed
and there i saw the girl i loved
all hatted, sashed, bemedalled, gloved
more lovely than she’d ever been
when she was orange and i was green
and our love that blazed that spanish summer
she’s squandered now on a lambeg drummer
[outro]
but had she been mary, breege or kate
we’d have walked together through the airport gate
and i’d never more be parted from her
by time or tide or a lambeg drummer
