时长： 03:41

Killybegs - The Chieftains[00:00:00]

My heart was warm with family love [00:00:13]

As I slipped into a chair[00:00:15]

Beside my Uncle John my[00:00:18]

Daughters 'cross the table there[00:00:20]

I'd walked the docks in misty rain;[00:00:23]

A pain was in my legs[00:00:26]

But I'd seen the dream of[00:00:28]

Kinsmen in the boats of Killybegs[00:00:29]

The ban'er of my Uncle and[00:00:37]

My daughters filled the air[00:00:39]

And the Donegalers next to us[00:00:41]

Were glad that we were there[00:00:44]

I was kind of quite listening[00:00:46]

Out the window ledge[00:00:49]

For the music of the harbour [00:00:51]

The birds of Killybegs[00:00:53]

Down the coast not far was Galway [00:01:04]

Planned the joys from Connemara[00:01:07]

After supper and a sleep [00:01:09]

We would be going there tomorra'[00:01:11]

I worried if my words would[00:01:14]

Ere be sung by Irishmen[00:01:16]

Or rot here on the docks [00:01:19]

Like the fish of Killybegs[00:01:21]

A radio was playin' though[00:01:44]

We never heard a word[00:01:46]

For the rhythm of the music[00:01:48]

Was familiar if absurd[00:01:50]

A hearkening intensity for silence did I beg[00:01:53]

Oh what a song was playing[00:01:58]

In the air of Killybegs[00:02:00]

I couldn't quite believe it[00:02:06]

For it sounded rather strange[00:02:08]

The instruments were different[00:02:11]

And the key had been changed[00:02:13]

I reached to turn the volume up [00:02:16]

Then teeter on my leg[00:02:18]

A girl from Tipperary sang my song in Killybegs[00:02:20]
