Je m'endors, je m'endors
Et j'ai soif et j'ai faim
Le soleil est couché
Je suis bien loin de la maison
Quavez-vous, mes belles blondes?
Quavez-vous, mes belles brunes?
C'est toutes pour la blonde
Et a rien pour la brune
Oh les gens du Crowley
Sont toujours dans le chemin
Sont toujours dans le chemin
Oui chercher à mal faire
Avec le jug au plombeau
Et les ferrailles à la poche
Toujours dans le chemin
Oui, chercher à mal faire

Heather on the Moor
03:25
|
|||
As I roved out on a bright May morn
Calm and clear was the weather
I chanced to roam some miles from home
Among the beautiful blooming heather
And it's heather on the moor
Over the heather
Over the moor and among the heather
I chanced to roam some miles from home
Among the beautiful blooming heather
And it's heather on the moor
As I roved along with my hunting song
My heart as light as any feather
I met a pretty maid upon the way
She was tripping the dew along the heather
And it's heather on the moor
Over the heather
Over the moor and along the heather
I met a pretty maid upon the way
She was tripping the dew along the heather
And it's heather on the moor
"Where are you going, my pretty fair maid,
Come hill or dale, come tell me whether?"
Quite modestly she answered me
"To the feeding of my lambs together"
And it's heather on the moor
Over the heather
Over the moor and along the heather
Quite modestly she answered me
"To the feeding of my lambs together"
And it's heather on the moor
We both shook hands and down we sat
It being the finest day in summer
We sat till the red setting beams of the sun
Came sparkling down among the heather
And it's heather on the moor
Over the heather
Over the moor and along the heather
We sat till the red setting beams of the sun
Came sparkling down among the heather
And it's heather on the moor
"Now," she says, "I must away
My lambs and sheep have strayed each other,
But I am loathe to part from you
As those fond lambs are to part their mother,"
And it's heather on the moor
Over the heather
Over the moor and along the heather
But I am loathe to part from you
As those fond lambs are to part their mother,"
And it's heather on the moor
Up she rose and away she goes
Her face and name I know not either
But if I was king I'd make her queen
The lass I met among the heather
And it's heather on the moor
Over the heather
Over the moor and along the heather
If I was king I'd make her queen
The lass I met among the heather
And it's heather on the moor

The Lass of Aughrim
01:23
|
|||
If you'll be the lass of Aughrim
As I'll take you to be
Tell me that first token
That passed between you and me
Oh, don't you remember
That night on yon lean hill
When we both met together
I am sorry now to tell
Oh, the rain falls on my yellow locks
And the dew soaks my skin
My babe lies cold in my arms
Lord Gregory, let me in
Oh, the rain falls on my heavy locks
And the dew soaks my skin
My babe lies cold in my arms
But none will let me in

Ye Jacobites by Name
02:42
|

Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear, lend an ear
Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear
Ye Jacobites by name
Your faults I will proclaim
Your doctrines I must blame
You shall hear, you shall hear
Your doctrines I must blame, you shall hear
What is right and what is wrong, by the law, by the law
What is right and what is wrong, by the law
What is right and what is wrong
By short sword or by long
The weak arm or the strong
For to draw, for to draw
The weak arm or the strong, for to draw
Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear, lend an ear
Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear
Ye Jacobites by name
Your faults I will proclaim
Your doctrines I must blame
You shall hear, you shall hear
Your doctrines I must blame, you shall hear
What makes heroic strife, famed afar, famed afar
What makes heroic strife, famed afar
What makes heroic strife
To whet the assassin's knife
And haunt a parent's life
With bloody war, bloody war
And haunt a parent's life with bloody war
Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear, lend an ear
Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear
Ye Jacobites by name
Your faults I will proclaim
Your doctrines I must blame
You shall hear, you shall hear
Your doctrines I must blame, you shall hear
Then let your schemes alone in the state, in the state
Then let your schemes alone in the state
Then let your schemes alone
Adore the rising sun
And leave a man undone
To his fate, to his fate
And leave a man undone to his fate
Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear, lend an ear
Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear
Ye Jacobites by name
Your faults I will proclaim
Your doctrines I must blame
You shall hear, you shall hear
Your doctrines I must blame, you shall hear

Steer By the Stars
05:08
|
|||
With twilight descending and slumber you find
And I am certain that I have safely passed from your mind
Only then can I serenade you unconfined
In the secrecy of my heart
Do you shine bright as always as in sagas of old?
Do you still sing with four voices or breathe hot and cold?
Do you nurture my memory or yet still behold
Another creature of some land apart?
And how can a blind man steer by the stars?
And how can a poor man find power?
How can a dead man rise from his grave?
And how can I have hope in this hour?
I desired no promise, only your company
And I flourished in your presence most wholeheartedly
Though I still would rejoin you, I face reality
It entraps me from dusk until dawn
Now we all take our chances on what we regain
But only fools would rush in where an angel's been slain
And the sound of four voices, they still call my name
Even though your presence is gone
And how can a blind man steer by the stars?
And how can a poor man find power?
How can a dead man rise from his grave?
And how can I have hope in this hour?
Free from all envy, and free from all pride
I marveled at your joy as I walked by your side
And I wish not to taint you with the aspects I hide
Of my past, my thoughts, and my fears
When time finally tempers this heart sick and sore
And your eyes no longer dance in my dreams anymore
I will still sing your praises for a time long before
I was blinded by so many tears
And how can a blind man steer by the stars?
And how can a poor man find power?
How can a dead man rise from his grave?
And how can I have hope in this hour?

Mardi Gras

Capitaine, capitaine, voyage ton flag
Allons chez notre voisin
Demander la charité
Pour les autres viens nous rejoindre
Les autres viens nous rejoindre
Pour le gumbo ce soir
Le Mardi Gras ça vient de tout partout
Tout l'tour autour du moyeu
Ça passe un fois par ans
Demander le charité
Quand même ç'est une patate
Une patate ou les gratons
Les Mardi Gras sont sur un grand voyage
Tout l'tour autour du moyeu
Ça passe un fois par ans
Demander le charité
Quand même ç'est une poule maigre
Et trois, quatre cotons de maïs
Capitaine, capitaine, voyage ton flag
Allons chez notre voisin
Demander la charité
Pour les autres viens nous rejoindre
Les autres viens nous rejoindre
Pour le gumbo ce soir
