Hob Y Derri Dando Never was there maiden sweeter, Hob y deri dano More alluring, livelier, neater Hob y deri dando Nor one to my fancy nearer Jane, sweet Jane There is no one I love dearer
Chorus: Jane, run down the lane, There in the grove we'll kiss again Jane, run down the lane, There in the grove we'll kiss again
Blessed are the wild birds flying Hob y deri dano; They're full free, there's no denying, Hob y deri dano; Free to linger or to hasten, Jane, sweet Jane; And come home with none to chasten; Chorus:
Now, o'er seas, my heart is crying, Hob y deri dando; O'er the seas, O hear me sighing, Hob y deri dando; O'er the seas my soul comes winging, Jane, sweet Jane; Where your golden voice is ringing, Chorus:
or
Low ye hills in ocean lie Hob y derri dando Hide not Meirion from my eye Hob y derri dando Still one view oh let me take Down derri down Ere my longing heart doth break Chorus:
Down down hie derri down My darling Mary do not frown Down down hie derri down My darling Mary do not frown.
O'er the seas hath flown my heart Hob y derri dando O'er the seas my sighs depart Hob y derri dando And o'er the seas must she be sought Down derri down Who lives yet always in my thought Chorus:
'Neath the seas shall I reside Hob y derri dando 'Neath the water and the tide Hob y derri dando For my longing heart did break Down derri down When she another love did take Chorus: |
