[00:00.000] 作曲 : Traditional
[00:12.43] Kilkelly Ireland, eighteen and sixty, my dear and lovin' son John
[00:21.03] Your good friend the Schoolmaster Pat McNamara
[00:25.83] So good as to write these words down
[00:29.78] Your brothers have all gone to find work in England
[00:35.00] The house is so empty and sad
[00:39.09] The crop of potatoes is sorely infected
[00:43.33] A third to a half of them bad
[00:47.74] And your sister Brigid and Patrick O'Donnell
[00:52.50] Are going to be married in June
[00:56.69] Your mother says not to work on the railroad
[01:00.93] And be sure to come on home soon
[01:05.86]
[01:05.87] Kilkelly Ireland, eighteen and sixty, my dear and lovin' son John
[01:14.24] Hello to your missus and to your four children
[01:18.68] May they grow healthy and strong
[01:23.05] Michael has got in a wee bit of trouble
[01:27.17] I suppose he never will learn
[01:31.73] Because of the dampness there's no turf to speak of
[01:36.36] And now we have nothing to burn
[01:40.50] And Brigid is happy, you named a child for her
[01:45.00] Although she's got six of her own
[01:49.30] You say you've found work
[01:51.51] But you don't say what kind
[01:53.63] Or when you'll be comin' home
[01:58.42]
[01:58.43] Kilkelly Ireland, eighteen and eighty, dear Michael and John my sons
[02:06.66] I'm sorry to give you the very sad news
[02:12.12] Your mother has gone
[02:15.65] We buried her down at the church in Kilkelly
[02:19.90] Your brothers and Bridget were there
[02:24.02] You don't have to worry, she died very quickly
[02:28.68] Remember her in your prayers
[02:32.82] And it's so good to hear that Michael's returning with money he's sure to buy land
[02:41.51] For the crop has been poor and the people are selling
[02:46.64] For any price that they can
[02:50.50]
[02:50.51] Kilkelly Ireland, eighteen and ninety, my dear and lovin' son John
[02:59.09] I suppose that I must be close on eighty
[03:03.50] It's thirty years since you've gone
[03:07.47] Because of all of the money you sent me
[03:12.12] I'm still living' out of my own
[03:16.38] Michael has built himself a fine house
[03:20.96] And Bridget's daughters have grown
[03:25.35] And thank you for sendin' your family picture
[03:29.92] They're lovely young women and men
[03:34.12] You say you might even come for a visit
[03:38.38] What a joy to see you again
[03:44.43]
[03:44.44] Kilkelly Ireland, eighteen and ninety two, my dear brother John
[03:51.60] I'm sorry I didn't write sooner to tell you that father has gone
[04:00.60] He was living with Brigid, she said he was cheerful and healthy right down to the end
[04:09.19] And you should have seen him play with the grandchildren
[04:13.95] Of Pat McNamara your friend
[04:17.96] And we buried him alongside of mother
[04:22.34] Down at Kilkelly churchyard
[04:26.68] He was a strong and a feisy old man
[04:31.31] Considering that life is so hard
[04:35.35] And it's funny the way he kept talkin' about you
[04:40.25] He called for you at the end
[04:44.75] And why don't you think about comin' to visit
[04:49.79] We'd all love to see you again
