The Banks of the Lee歌曲歌词：
作词 : Silly Wizard
When two lovers meet down beside the green bower
When two lovers meet down beneath the green tree
When Mary, fond
Mary, declared to her lover “You have stolen my poor heart from the Banks of the Lee”
Chorus: I loved her very dearly, so true and sincerely
There was no one in this wide world
I loved better than she
Every bush, every bower, every sweet
Irish flower
Reminds me of my
Mary, on the banks of the
Lee. “Don’t stay out late, love, on the moorlands, my Mary Don’t stay out late, love, on the moorlands from me”
How little was our notion when we parted on the ocean
That we were forever parted from the
Banks of the
Lee Chorus
I will pluck her some roses, some blooming
Irish roses
I will pluck her some roses, the fairest that ever grew
And I’ll leave them on the grave of my own true lovely
Mary In that cold and silent churchyard where she sleeps ‘neath the dew
Chorus

Silly Wizard简介：
by Niles J. Frantz
Generally considered the worlds finest performers of traditional and contemporary Scottish music — and with good reason. Silly Wizards music is at once driving and sensitive, powerful and poignant, at times hypnotic, often humorous, with sensitive group interplay and virtuoso-level musicianship, particularly from brothers Phil (accordion, keyboards, whistles, guitar, vocals) and Johnny (fiddle) Cunningham. Their repertoire includes centuries-old instrumental dance music along with traditional and contemporary narrative ballads: tales of joy and woe, of men and women, of time and travel, of love and loss. Silly Wizard is not just another folk music group; they rank with the greatest creators and performers from any country from any time.
Several members of the group, particularly the Cunningham brothers and vocalist Andy Stewart, have made solo and duo recordings and have performed and recorded with other artists, primarily Scottish traditionalists. These recordings are also well worth investigating, but get the Silly Wizard stuff first.
