The Mountains Of Mourne - Brian Dullaghan[00:00:00]
Oh Mary this London's a wonderful sight[00:00:09]
With people here working by day and by night[00:00:16]
They don't sow potatoes nor barley nor wheat[00:00:24]
But there's gangs of them digging for[00:00:30]
Gold in the street[00:00:35]
At least when I asked them that's what[00:00:38]
I was told[00:00:42]
So I just took a hand at this diggin'[00:00:45]
For gold[00:00:50]
But for all that I found there I might[00:00:52]
As well be[00:00:57]
Where the Mountains of Mourne sweep down[00:00:59]
To the sea[00:01:04]
I believe that when writin' a wish you expressed[00:01:08]
As to how the fine ladies in London were dressed[00:01:15]
Well if you'll believe me when asked to a ball[00:01:23]
Faith they don't wear a top to their dresses[00:01:30]
At all[00:01:35]
Oh I've seen them meself and you could not[00:01:37]
In trath[00:01:42]
Say if they were bound for a ball or a bath[00:01:44]
Don't be startin' them fashions now Mary Macree[00:01:51]
Where the Mountains of Mourne sweep down[00:01:58]
To the sea[00:02:04]
You remember young Peter O'Loughlin of course[00:02:08]
Well now he is here at the head of the force[00:02:15]
I met him today I was crossing the Strand[00:02:22]
And he stopped the whole street with wan wave of[00:02:29]
His hand[00:02:35]
And there we stood talkin' of days that are gone[00:02:37]
While the whole population of London looked on[00:02:44]
But for all these great powers he's wishful[00:02:51]
Like me[00:02:56]
To be back where the dark Mourne sweeps down[00:02:58]
To the sea[00:03:03]
There's beautiful girls here oh never you mind[00:03:16]
With beautiful shapes nature never designed[00:03:23]
And lovely complexions all roses and cream[00:03:30]
But O'Loughlin remarked with regard to the same[00:03:38]
That if at those roses you venture to sip[00:03:45]
The colours might all come away on your lip[00:03:52]
So I'll wait for the wild rose that's waitin'[00:03:59]
For me[00:04:05]
Where the Mountains of Mourne sweep down[00:04:07]
To the sea[00:04:11]
