Lyrics to Molly Bán
http://youtu.be/xOpY0wQdJ5w
"Molly Bán (Bawn)"
Come all ye young fellas /
That handle a gun /
Beware of night rambling /
By the setting of the sun /
And beware of an accident /
That happened of late /
To young Molly Bán /
And sad was her fate. /
She was going to her uncles /
When a shower came on /
She went under a green bush /
The shower to shun. /
Her white apron wrapped around her /
He took her for a swan /
But a hush and a sigh /
T’was his own Molly Bán. /
He quickly ran to her /
And found she was dead /
And there on her bosom /
Where he soaked, tears he shed. /
He ran home to his father /
With his gun in his hand /
Saying "Father dear father /
I have shot Molly Bán." /
Her white apron wrapped around her /
He took her for a swan /
But a hush and a sigh /
T’was his own Molly Bán. /
He roamed near the place /
Where his true love was slain /
He wept bitter tears /
But his cries were in vain /
As he looked on the lake /
A swan glided by /
And the sun slowly sank /
In the gray of sky. /

Out of Irish sadness was born their sense of humor and love of music.....
