Curragh Of Kildare
Traditional Scottish tune, words by Robert Burns

lyrics

The winter it has passed
And the summer's come at last
And the small birds they sing on every tree
Their little hearts are glad
But mine is very sad
Since my true love is far away from me

The rose upon the briar
By the water running clear
Gives joy to the linnet and the bee
Their little hearts are blessed
But mine is not at rest
While my true love is far away from me

A livery I'll wear
And I'll comb back my hair
And in velvet so green I will appear
And its straight I will repair
To the Curragh of Kildare
For it's there I'll find tidings of my dear

And straight I will repair
To the Curragh of Kildare
For it's there I'll find tidings of my dear

I would not think it strange
Thus the world for me to range
If I only got tidings of my dear
But here in Cupid's chain
If I'm bound to remain
I would spend my whole life in despair

All you who are in love
And cannot it remove
I pity the pains you endure
For experience let me know
That your hearts are full of woe
And a woe that no mortal can cure

And straight I will repair
To the Curragh of Kildare
For it's there I'll finds tidings of my dear

And straight I will repair
To the Curragh of Kildare
For it's there I'll finds tidings of my dear
