Slane 03:54
Be though my vision, oh Lord of my heart Naught be all else to me, save that thou art Thou my best thought by day or by night Waking or sleeping, thy presence my light Riches I need not, nor man's empty praise Thou my inheritance, now and always Thou and thou only first in my heart High King of Heaven, my treasure thou art When first in this country, a stranger I came I placed my affections on a comely young dame Her face fair and tender and her waist small and slender Kind nature had formed her for my overthrow On the banks of Bann water, where first we did meet She appeared like fair Juno or a Grecian queen Her eyes shone like diamonds and her hair softly twined Her cheeks were like roses or blood drops on snow

Little Pink 03:29
Come here, Little Pink Tell me what do you think, lord lord You've been a long time making up your mind I used to think You was the prettiest little thing, lord lord That ever the sun shone on You caused me to weep And you've caused me to moan, lord lord You caused me to leave a happy home You caused me to walk Down that long lonesome road, lord lord That never I had walked before I truly understand That you love another man, lord lord And your heart will no longer be mine Come here, Little Pink And tell me what do you think, lord lord You've been a long time making up your mind

Train on the island, headed for the west Run and tell my true love, one I loves the best I can't hold the wheel Train on the island, thought I heard her blow Run and tell my true love, I'm sick and I can't go I can't hold the wheel Train on the island, headed for the west Me and my gal, we fell out, might be for the best I can't hold the wheel Train on the island, rollin' through the pines My brother says my luck will change, hope this is the time I can't hold the wheel Train on the island, golden bell that shines I gave my heart to one sweet girl, she's no longer mine I can't hold the wheel Train on the island, hear that engine roar If I can't have the one I love, I'll never love no more I can't hold the wheel Train on the island, though I heard her squeal Run and tell my true love, I can't hold the wheel I can't hold the wheel I can't hold the wheel

Dark is the color of my true love's hair His home is one some island fair The sweetest face, and the neatest hands I love the ground whereon he stand I love my love, and well he knows I love the ground whereon he goes If he no more on Earth I see I wouldn't serve you as he have me The winter's passed, and the leave are green The time is past that we have been But yet I hope the time will come When you and I shall be as one My dear sweet heart, so fare ye well you've slighted me, but I wish you well You've slighted me and broke my heart Oh how can I from you depart I go to the river for to mourn and weep But satisfied I could never could be I wrote a letter in a few short lines I died a death a thousands times

Down in the willow garden, where me and my true love did meet Down where we sat a-courtin', my love fell off to sleep I had a bottle of burgundy wine, my love she did not know It was there I did murder that dear little girl, down on the banks below I drew my saber through her, it was a bloody knife And I pushed her into the river, it was a dreadful sight My father always told me that money would set me free If I'd but murder that dear little girl whose name was Rose Connelly Now he sits and the door of his cabin home, a-wiping his tear dimmed eyes For his only son is soon to hand upon the scaffold high My race is run beneath the sun, the Devil is waiting for me For i did murder that dear little girl, whose name was Rose Connelly

He searches high, he wanders low Nary a thought, for the winds that blow chorus: Fair young man, to your own heart be Tender and true, careful with thee The world's own weight he's forced to bear With his left hand, he placed it there - chorus - Lift up your face, the dawn is near Open your eyes, there's naught to fear - chorus - I'll stay with you should harm befall And come to aid if you should call - chorus -
