Testo I Wish I Was In England Glen Of Guinness
Oh I wish I was in England,
In France or even in Spain
Or wherever dwells my own true love
For to hold her near again
Wherever dwills my own true love
For to hold her near again.
Ho long time I have been roaming
In country and in town
But never in my wandering met
A maid with such renown
Never in my wandering met
A maid with such renown.
Until I met my true love
On the slopes of Knocknashee,
Her brown hair in the howling wind
A-blowing wild and free
Her brown hair in the howling wind
A-blowing wild and free.
Oh my true love she did promise me
Some land with rambling kine
And on her pasture land
To build a mansion fine
And on her pasture land
To build a mansion fine
Oh and then my love she left me
And she wandered far away
And I've been searching for my love
For many's the night and day
And I've been searching for my love
For many's the night and day
Oh I wish that I was in England
Or wherever she may be
That I could go and call her name
And together we would be
That I could go and call her name
And together we would be
