[00:00.30]Lyrics by:Traditional
[00:15.56]The first time I met my Moorlough Mary
[00:19.33]Twas in the market of Sweet Strabane
[00:23.08]Her killing glances were so engaging
[00:26.82]The hearts of young men she did trepann
[00:30.78]Her killing glances berefit my senses
[00:35.18]Of peace or comfort either night or day
[00:38.34]And in silent slumber I start and murmur
[00:42.49]Oh Moorlough Mary won't you come away
[00:46.50]Now were I a man of great education
[00:50.06]Or Erin's Isle at my own command
[00:53.99]I would lay my head on your snowy bosom
[00:58.30]In wedlock bands love we'd join our hands
[01:01.84]I would entertain you both night and morning
[01:06.11]With robes I'd deck you both fine and gay
[01:09.57]And with kisses sweet I would embrace you
[01:13.76]Oh Mary won't you come away
[01:41.59]Now I'll away to my situation
[01:45.26]Where my recreation is all in view
[01:49.28]On the river Mourne where salmon sporting
[01:53.21]The rocks re-echoing with something new
[01:57.00]The thrush and blackbird all join in chorus
[02:01.24]Their notes melodious on Ruskae brae
[02:04.46]And the sweet lough stream I would restore you
[02:08.52]Saying Moorlough Mary won't you come away
[02:12.43]So fare thee well young Moorlough Mary
[02:16.41]Ten thousand times I bid you adieu
[02:20.29]While life remains in my glowing bosom
[02:24.11]I'll never cease love to think on you
[02:27.77]Now I'll away to some lonesome valley
[02:32.41]With tears bewailing both night and day
[02:35.72]To some silent arbour where none can hear me
[02:43.53]Where none can hear me
[02:51.50]Where none can hear me
