The Well Below The Valley (OST The Magdalene Sisters)
Из фильма "Сестра Магдалены", исполняет священник на свадьбе. Начало, увы, подрезано, и кое-где есть разночтения с текстом (и не только в отдельных словах, весь сюжет сильно почикан - оно и правильно, свадьба, как-никак...), но так она, на мой скромный взгляд, звучит намного лучше , чем в исполнении Planxty.
Chorus At the well below the valley oh Green grows the lily oh Right among the bushes oh
A gentleman was passing by He asked for a drink as he got dry
My cup is full up to the brim If I were to stoop I might fall in
If your true lover was passing by You'd fill him a drink as he got dry
She swore by grass, she swore by corn That her true love had never been born
He said, Young maid you're swearing wrong For six young children you had born
If you be a man of noble fame You'll tell to me the father of them
There's two of them by your Uncle Dan There's two of them by your Uncle Dan
Another two by your brother John Another two by your brother John
Another two by your father dear Another two by your father dear
If you be a man of noble 'steem You'll tell me what did happen to them
There's two buried 'neath the stable door There's two buried 'neath the stable door
Another two 'neath the kitchen door Another two 'neath the kitchen door
Another two buried beneath the wall Another two buried beneath the wall
If you be a man of noble fame You'll tell me what will happen myself
You'll be seven years a-ringing the bell You'll be seven years a-ringing the bell
You'll be seven more burning in hell You'll be seven more burning in hell
I'll be seven years a-ringing the bell But the lord above may save my soul From burning in hell
