Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

I am a queen’s daughter I come from Capakin
\nIn search of Lord Gregory, Pray God I find him<\/p>\n

The rain beats on my yellow head, the dew wets my skin
\nMy wee babe’s cold in my arms; Lord Gregory, Let me in<\/p>\n

Lord Gregory, he is not here, I swear can’t be seen
\nHe’s gone to bonny Scotland for to bring home a fair queen<\/p>\n

So leave now these portals and likewise this hall
\nFor it’s deep in the sea you should find you downfall<\/p>\n

Oh don’t you remember, Love, that night in Capakin
\nWhen we exchanged rings, Love, and I against my will<\/p>\n

Yours was pure silver and mine was but tin
\nYours cost a guinea and mine but a pin
\nMy curse on you, Mother, my curse being sore
\nI dreamed that my true love come a knocking at the door<\/p>\n

Lie down now, my foolish son, lie down and sleep
\nTwas only a servant girl lies drowned in the deep<\/p>\n

Go saddle my black horse, the brown or the bay
\nGo saddle the fastest horse in my stable this day<\/p>\n

I’ll ride over mountains and valleys so wide
\nI’ll find the girl that I love and ride by her side<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
