Joan Baez - Sad-Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[intro]

We sailed out of Dunmore Michelmas gone by
Cowhides and wool and live cargo
Twenty young Wild Geese ready fledged to fly
Sailing for the lowlands low

[Chorus]

The lowlands low, the lowlands low
Sailing for the lowlands low

[verse]

Sean Rouse the skipper from the church of Crook
Piery keeps log for his father
Crew all from Bannow, Fethard and the Hook
Sailing for the lowlands low

[Chorus]

The lowlands low, the lowlands low
Sailing for the lowlands low

[verse]

Ready with priming we'd our galliot gun
Muskets and pikes in good order
We should be riddled captives would be none
Death or else the lowlands low

[Chorus]

The lowlands low, the lowlands low
Death or else the lowlands low

[verse]

A pirate approached us many leagues from shore
We fought and we sunk him in good order
He'll go a-roving plundering no more
Sailing for the lowlands low

[Chorus]

The lowlands low, the lowlands low
Sailing for the lowlands low

[verse]

We smuggled out the Wild Geese weapons safe ashore
Then we unloaded our cargo
A fair wind is blowing we're headed for Dunmore
Sailing from the lowlands low

[outro]

The lowlands low, the lowlands low
Sailing from the lowlands low
The lowlands low, the lowlands low
Sailing from the lowlands low
