Mountains of Mourne[00:00:01]

Oh Mary this London's a wonderful sight [00:00:02]

With people here working by day and by night [00:00:06]

They don't sow potatoes nor barley nor wheat[00:00:13]

But there's gangs of them diggin' for gold in the street [00:00:19]

At least when I asked them that's what I was told[00:00:25]

So I just took a hand at this diggin' for gold;[00:00:31]

But for all that I've found there I might as well be[00:00:37]

Where the Mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea [00:00:44]

I believe that when writin' a wish you expressed[00:01:05]

As to how the fine lAdies of London are dressed [00:01:11]

Well if you believe me when asked to a ball[00:01:17]

They don't wear no tops to their dresses at all [00:01:24]

Oh I've seen them myself and you could not in thrath[00:01:30]

（truth）[00:01:36]

Say if they were bound for a ball or a bath [00:01:37]

Don't be startin' them fashions now Mary Machree [00:01:43]

Where the Mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea[00:01:50]

I've seen England's king from the top of a bus[00:02:23]

And I've never known him but he means to know us [00:02:29]

And tho' by the Saxon we once were oppressed [00:02:36]

Still I cheered God forgive me I cheered with the rest [00:02:40]

And now that he's visited Erin's green shore[00:02:44]

We'll be much better friends than we've been heretofore[00:02:48]

When we've got all we want we're as quiet as can be[00:02:52]

Where the Mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea[00:02:58]

You remember young Peter O'Loughlin of course[00:03:03]

Well now he is here at the head of the Force [00:03:06]

I met him today I was crossing the Strand[00:03:10]

And he stopped the whole street with a wave of his hand [00:03:13]

And there we stood talking of days that are gone[00:03:18]

While the whole population of London looked on;[00:03:22]

But for all these great powers he's wishful like me[00:03:25]

To be back where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the sea [00:03:29]

There's beautiful girls here --- Oh never you mind ---[00:03:33]

With beautiful shapes nature never designed [00:03:37]

And lovely complexions all roses and cream [00:03:39]

But O'Loughlin remarked with regard to the same[00:03:42]

That if at those roses you venture to sip[00:03:45]

The colors might all come away on your lip[00:03:48]

So I'll wait for the wild rose that's waitin' for me[00:03:51]

Where the Mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea[00:03:55]
