lyrics

Courting is a pleasure
Between my love and I;
And it's down in yon green valley
That I'd meet her by and by

It was down in yon green valley
She is my heart's delight:
"Oh Molly, lovely Molly
I would stay till broad daylight."

Going to church last Sunday
My true love she passed me by
I knew her mind was altered
By the roving of her eye

Well I knew her mind was altered
To a lad of a high degree:
"Molly, lovely Molly
Your looks have wounded me."

Up came love Willy
With a bottle in his hand
Saying, "Drink this, lovely Molly
For our love would never stand."

Saying, "Drink this, lovely Molly
Let the bottle flask go free
Oh ten guineas I'll wager
That married we ne'er shall be."

Never marry a fair young maid
With a dark and a roving eye
Just you kiss her and you embrace her
Never tell her the reason why

Just you kiss her and you embrace her
Till you cause her heart to yield;
For a faint-hearted soldier
Will never gain the field

Farewell, Ballymonie
Likewise the sweet Bann shore
Farewell to McCusky braes
That I never will see no more

America lies far away
That land I will go see;
And may all bad luck attend the one
Who parted my love and me

Farewell Farewell
Farewell
