frank harte - green linnet كلمات أغنية
[verse 1]
curiosity led a young exile from erin
to view the gay banks of the rhine
where an empress he saw, and the robes she was wearing
all over like diamonds did shine
no goddess in splendour was ever yet seen
who could equal this maiden so mild and serene
in soft voice then she murmured, “my linnet so green
sweet boney, shall i ne’er see you more?”
[verse 2]
oh on the cold frosty alps you freely passed over
that nature had placеd in your way
at marengo, bellona around you did hover
all paris rеjoiced the next day
it grieves me the hardships you did undergo
the mountains you traversed all covered with snow
and the balance of power you freely laid low
sweet boney, shall i ne’er see you more?
[verse 3]
the crowned heads of europe they were in great splendour
and they swore they would have you submit
but the goddess of freedom soon made them surrender
and lowered their standards to your wit
old frederick’s colours to france you did bring
his offsprings took shelter all under your wing
and that year in vienna you sweetly did sing
oh sweet boney, shall i ne’er see you more?
[verse 4]
and great numbers of men there were eager for to slay you
their malice you viewed with a smile
and their gold throughout europe was found to betray you
they joined the mamelukes on the nile
like ravenous vultures their vile passion did burn
the orphans they slew and caused widows to mourn
but my linnet he is gone and he never will return
oh sweet boney, shall i ne’er see you more?
[verse 5]
i have travelled the desert of wild abyssinia
but can yet find no cure for my pain
i will go and enquire at the isle of saint helena
but soft murmurs they whisper, “’tis vain”
come tell me you critics, come tell me in time
what nations shall i got to, my green linnet to find?
was he slain at waterloo, in spain or on the rhine?
no he is dead on st helena’s bleak shore
