Derry Boy-Claire Hamill

[ti:Derry Boy] [ar:Claire Hamill] [al:The Meeting Of The Waters] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Derry Boy - Claire Hamill [00:17.45]I've played the fool I've played the Virgin Mary [00:23.38] [00:25.90]I've played those games of chance at Kerry Fair [00:31.44] [00:35.15]Yet I felt my lonely heart turn over [00:40.19] [00:42.59]When I heard him sing A Londonderry Air [00:48.53] [00:51.05]And I followed him from Dublin to Killarney [00:56.94] [00:59.91]And then my mother told me to beware [01:05.37] [01:08.07]For he's a member of a secret army [01:14.53] [01:16.28]And his bullets echo in the Londonderry Air [01:22.49] [01:24.57]So I was torn from heaven to high water [01:30.70] [01:33.05]I fell for every trick that she'd employ [01:39.15] [01:41.73]She couldn't bear to see me love a Protestant [01:47.46] [01:50.23]But my heart longs for my Derry Boy [01:56.10] [02:15.36]But love's a dream a chance well worth the taking [02:21.09] [02:23.94]And so I made no mind to his affairs [02:29.39] [02:32.92]Yet I heard my mothers voice calling [02:38.14] [02:40.44]Every time he sang A Londonderry Air [02:46.68] [02:48.90]And there's no comfort when your heart is aching [02:54.64] [02:57.19]There's no release no peace no warmth no joy [03:03.18] [03:05.51]And no piper plays a tune [03:09.39] [03:10.79]That can climb the prison walls [03:13.92] [03:14.60]That surround my Derry Boy [03:20.22] [03:39.48]And when I'm old and when I'm dying [03:45.42] [03:47.61]It is his sweet face that I'll see standing there [03:54.20] [03:56.06]And I'd give a lifetime's memories to hear him sing [04:03.24] [04:03.94]Just once more A Londonderry Air [04:12.95] [04:15.22]Oh Danny boy the pipes the pies are calling [04:21.31] [04:23.91]To hear him sing A Londonderry Air
