LEAVING OF LIVERPOOL (4) As I roved out one evening, down by the Assembly Mall I heard two lovers speaking as me and my love passed on And the words that passed between them, they were but very few Its not the leaving of Limerick that grieves me, but my darling, leaving you In the morning when I am going, I will take you by the lily white hand And I'll wave it o'er my shoulder saying adieu to the Limerick strand So farewell to the boys of Thomond Gate, It's to them I'll bid Adieu Its not etc. And now that we must be parted, I know you will understand Why I must go broken hearted, far away from my native land Though my fond love I must leave you, you know my heart is true Its not etc. The tune is related to The Leaving of Liverpool but very slow (three minutes for three unaccompanied verses) and wistful. Beautifully sung by Deirdre. From the singing of Dierdre Scanlan See notes on LEAVLIV3 @sea @farewell TUNE FILE: LEAVLIV CLICK TO PLAY filename[ LEAVLIV4 MR Feb07  8note Sheet |
