[ti:Erin's Green Shore] [ar:Mick Moloney] [al:Far From The Shamrock Shore] [by:] [offset:0] [00:01.04]One evening of late as I rambled [00:06.48] [00:07.04]On the banks of a clear purling stream [00:12.49] [00:13.30]I sat down on a bed of primroses [00:20.09]And I gently fell into a dream [00:25.45] [00:26.01]I dreamed I beheld a fair female [00:32.87]Her equal I had neer seen before [00:39.42] [00:40.04]As she sighed for the wrongs of her country [00:45.91] [00:46.79]As she strayed along Erins green shore [00:53.52] [00:54.65]I went to her and quickly addressed her [01:01.32]Fair maid will you tell me your name [01:06.75] [01:07.57]And why through this wild wooded country [01:13.93] [01:14.61]In the midst of these dangers you came [01:20.54] [01:21.22]I'm a daughter of Daniel OConnell [01:28.22]And from England I have lately come over [01:34.52] [01:35.15]I have come to awaken my brethren [01:41.44] [01:41.95]Who slumber on Erin's green shore [01:48.37] [01:55.93]Her eyes were like two sparkling diamonds [02:01.91] [02:02.48]Or the stars of a bright frosty night [02:08.58] [02:09.53]Her cheeks were like two blooming roses [02:16.26] [02:16.96]And her teeth of the ivory so white [02:23.57] [02:24.20]She resembled the Goddess of Freedom [02:30.67] [02:31.18]And green was the mantle she wore [02:38.61]Bound `round with the shamrock and roses [02:45.73]As she strayed along Erin's green shore [02:52.42] [02:59.02]In transports of joy I awoke then [03:05.22]And found I had been in a dream [03:11.71]For this beautiful damsel had fled me [03:18.09]And I longed for to slumber again [03:24.52]May the heavens above be her guardian [03:30.39] [03:30.95]For I know I shall see her no more [03:37.31] [03:38.06]May the sunbeams of glory shine over her [03:45.11]As she strays along Erin's green shore
