Mountains O'Mourne-Don McLean

[ti:Mountains of Mourne] [ar:Don McLean] [al:The Very Best Of Don McLean] [offset:0] [00:01.18]Mountains of Mourne [00:02.06]Oh Mary, this London's a wonderful sight, [00:06.99]With people here working by day and by night. [00:13.54]They don't sow potatoes nor barley nor wheat [00:19.22]But there's gangs of them diggin' for gold in the street. [00:25.65]At least, when I asked them that's what I was told [00:31.89]So I just took a hand at this diggin' for gold; [00:37.88]But for all that I've found there, I might as well be [00:44.06]Where the Mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea. [00:51.04] [01:05.14]I believe that when writin' a wish you expressed [01:11.01]As to how the fine lAdies of London are dressed. [01:17.50]Well if you believe me, when asked to a ball [01:24.24]They don't wear no tops to their dresses at all. [01:30.86]Oh, I've seen them myself and you could not, in thrath [01:36.03]（truth） [01:37.59]Say if they were bound for a ball, or a bath, [01:43.77]Don't be startin' them fashions now, Mary Machree, [01:50.01]Where the Mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea [01:57.31] [02:23.84]I've seen England's king from the top of a bus [02:29.45]And I've never known him, but he means to know us. [02:36.00]And tho' by the Saxon we once were oppressed, [02:40.37]Still I cheered, God forgive me, I cheered with the rest. [02:44.92]And now that he's visited Erin's green shore [02:48.79]We'll be much better friends than we've been heretofore [02:52.54]When we've got all we want, we're as quiet as can be [02:58.53]Where the Mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea [03:03.14]You remember young Peter O'Loughlin of course [03:06.14]Well now he is here at the head of the Force. [03:10.01]I met him today, I was crossing the Strand [03:13.44]And he stopped the whole street with a wave of his hand. [03:18.56]And there we stood talking of days that are gone [03:22.49]While the whole population of London looked on; [03:25.67]But for all these great powers, he's wishful, like me [03:29.35]To be back where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the sea. [03:33.78]There's beautiful girls here --- Oh, never you mind --- [03:37.78]With beautiful shapes nature never designed. [03:39.77]And lovely complexions all roses and cream, [03:42.33]But O'Loughlin remarked with regard to the same [03:45.14]That if at those roses you venture to sip [03:48.14]The colors might all come away on your lip [03:51.13]So I'll wait for the wild rose that's waitin' for me [03:55.25]Where the Mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea
