Bantry Bay - John McCormack (麦考梅克)
As I'm sitting all alone in the gloaming
It might have been but yesterday
That we watched the fisher's sails all homing
Till the little herring fleet at anchor lay
Then the fisher girls with baskets swinging
Came running down the old stone way
Every lassie to her sailor lad was singing
Ah welcome back to bantry bay
Then we heard the pipers sweet note tuning
And all the lassies turned to hear
As they mingled with a soft voice crooning
Till the music floated down the wooden pier
Save you kindly colleens all said the piper
Hands across and trip it while I play
And the tender sound of song and merry dancing
Stole softly over bantry bay
As I'm sitting all alone in the gloaming
The shadows of the past draw near
And I see the lovely faces round me
That used to glad the old front pier
Some have gone upon their last logged homing
Some are left but they are old and gray
And we're waiting for the tide in the gloaming
To sail upon the great highway
To the land of rest unending
All peacefully from bantry bay
