Lyrics:

it being in spring and the small birds they were singing
down by a shady arbour i carelessly did stray
where the thrushes they were warbling
the violets they were charming
for to view two lovers talking a while i did delay
she said, "my dear, don't leave me all for another season
though fortune may be pleasing i'll go along with you
i'll give up friends and relations and quit this irish nation
and to the bonnie bann banks forever i'll bid adieu"
he said, "my dear, don't grieve me or yet annoy my patience
you know i love you dearly although i'm going away
i'm going to some foreign nation to purchase a plantation
for to comfort us hereafter all in america.
the landlords and their agents, their bailiffs and their beagles
the land of our forefathers we're forced for to give o'er
and we're sailing on the ocean for honor and promotion
and we're parting with our sweethearts, it's them we do adore
if you were in your bed lying and thinking of dying
one sight of the bonny bann banks, your sorrows you'd give o'er
and if your were but one hour all in her shady bower
pleasure would surround you, you'd think on death no more
so fare thee well, sweet craigie hill, where ofttimes i have roved in
i never thought in my childhood days i'd part you any more
but we're sailing on the ocean for honour and promotion
and the bonny boat's sailing way down by doorin shore

刚欣赏一半，老总就推门进来了，说：“哎呀，这小歌听的。”吓得我赶紧灭了低音炮。接着老总就交给了一个任务：给新招员工主讲企业文化一课。其实这事前几天组织人事部经理和总助都说过了，总助还让我将他应该主讲的公司规章制度一并给代讲了。因有贵人相助，没觉得这事有多难，也没认真备课，这几天就轻松玩了过来。没想到老总对此十分重视，单独来交办。还说宁宿徐公司企业文化钱前你讲最合适，可以代表我公司最高水平......

得，被说得直冒冷汗，音乐是听不下去了。老老实实备课去。等备好课后和大家分享接下来的几首爱尔兰歌曲。
