Luyện nghe bài hát Banks Of The Bann

When first to this as a stranger I came
I placed my affection on a comely young
She being warm and tender, her waist and slender
Kind Nature had her for my overthrow

On the banks of Bann water, where I first her
She appeared like Juno or a Grecian queen
Her eyes shone like diamonds, her softly twining
Her cheeks were like roses, or like drops in snow

It was her cruel parents first caused our variance
All I was poor and of a low degree
But do my endeavour to earn my love's favour
Although she is come of a rich

My is Delaney, its a name that wont shame me
And if I had money I'd have plenty in store
But and courting, night rambling and sporting
Were the cause of my ruin and absence from

Had I all the that's in the West Indies
Or had I the gold of the shore
I spend it on pearls, and on you my brown girl
For there's no other in this world I adore

And now that I've found her I'm contented
put rings on her fingers and gold in her hair
And we'll live on the banks of the lovely Bann
And in all sorts of splendour I style her my dear.

One of several songs with name.
