    Craigie Hill

    It being in the springtime and the small birds they were singing,
    Down by yon shady harbour I carelessly did stray,
    The the thrushes they were warbling,
    The violets they were charming
    To view fond lovers talking, a while I did delay.

    She said, my dear don´t leave me all for another season,
    Though fortune does be pleasing I ´ll go along with you,
    I ´ll forsake friends and relations and bid this Irish nation,
    And to the bonny Bann banks forever I ´ll bid adieu.

    He said, my dear don´t grieve or yet annoy my patience,
    You know I love you dearly the more I´m going away,
    I´m going to a foreign nation to purchase a plantation,
    To comfort us hereafter all in Amerika y.

    Then after a short while a fortune does be pleasing,
    T´will cause them for smile at our late going away,
    We´ll be happy as Queen Victoria, all in her greatest glory,
    We´ll be drinking wine and porter all in Amerika y.

    If you were in your bed lying and thinking on dying,
    The sight of the lovely Bann banks, your sorrow you´d give o´er,
    Or if were down one hour, down in yon shady bower,
    Pleasure would surround you, you´d think on death no more.

    Then fare you well, sweet Cragie Hills, where often times I´ve roved,
    I never thought my childhood days I ´d part you any more,
    Now we´re sailing on the ocean for honour and promotion,
    And the bonny boats are sailing, way down by Doorin shore.
