Silly Wizard - Banks of the Bann Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • I placed my affection on a comely young dame
  • She being warm and tender, her waist small and slender
  • Kind nature had formed her for my overthrow
  • On the banks of bann water, where I first beheld her
  • She appeared like fair juno or a grecian queen
  • Her eyes shone like diamonds, her hair softly twining
  • Her cheeks were like roses, or like blood drops in snow
  • It was her cruel parents that first caused our variance
  • All because I was poor and of a low degree
  • But I'll do my endeavour to earn my love's favour
  • Although she is come of a rich family
  • My name is delaney, its a name that wont shame me
  • And if I had saved money I'd have plenty in store
  • But drinking and courting, night rambling and sporting
  • Were the cause of my ruin and absence from home
  • Had I all the money that's in the west indies
  • Or had I the gold of the african shore
  • I would spend it on pearls, and on you my brown girl
  • For there's no other love in this world I adore
  • And now that I've found her I'm contented forever
  • I'll put rings on her fingers and gold in her hair
  • And we'll live on the banks of the lovely bann river
  • And in all sorts of splendour I will style her my dear
  • One of several songs with this name
