Subject: Lyrics : Legananny 'o
Can anyone assist, I most of have the lyrics but the place names I can't make out. I was wondering if any Mudcatters could help out.The ballad hails from County Down (Castlewellan) There are ten verses all together.

One evening fair to take the air,
I chanced to go a-straying 'o.
As o'er the dales from ---------(?)
With gentle breath displaying 'o.
With a lassie gay, I took my way,
And left me occuption 'o.
With beating heart, for to escort
Onto her destination 'o.
