[00:08.68] You maidens now pity this sorrowful moan I make
[00:17.94] I am a yong maiden in grief for my darling sake
[00:27.71] My true lovers absence in sorrow I grieve full sore
[00:36.90] And each day I lament for my Jimmy Mó Mhíle Stór
[00:46.03]
[00:46.28] Now these twelve months and better my darling
[00:50.04] has left these shores
[00:55.58]
[00:55.83] And he'll never return till he travels the wide world o'er
[01:05.45] And when he comes back he'll have silver and gold in store
[01:14.91] He's the truest of lovers my Jimmy Mó Mhíle Stór
[01:48.08]
[01:48.33] My father and mother they never will give my head peace
[01:57.27] Since my true love has left me to sail o'er the stormy seas
[02:06.95] They would give me a aweetheart with money and
[02:10.97] flocks and more
[02:16.46] But my heart o'er the ocean with Jimmy Mó Mhíle Stór
[02:25.65]
[02:25.90] I will go to the wild woods and stay there the rest of my days
[02:35.29] Where no living mortal will suffer my soul to tease
[02:44.72] And amongst the wild rowans with red berries all drooping o'er
[02:54.26] And I'll wait for my true love, Yeh, I'll wait for my true love
[03:03.89] I'll wait for my true love my Jimmy Mó Mhíle Stór
