Thanks for your help, Jim! Putting together what you transcribed and what I could make out or guess, we have: As I took a drink down in Cumberland Road I met with a maiden so fair ...giggles(?)..., with the sun in her eyes And a ribbon tied in her black hair. And I wooed her in haste, she was up for the chase Arm in arm we strolled all that summer Never knowing the pain of loveĀ“s loss and love's gain That summer in Cumberland Road When she took me home to a....... We're as different as water and beer But a ..... joy, they accepted this boy And love in their hearts it was clear(?) ............. in, there's always a wind .............blowing cold But there's always the past(?) when he held the lass That he met down in Cumberland Road With the passage of years, there was laughter and tears But a.... ....boy's broken heart and a lover's depart ..............with no one to blame ..............some twenty years on I hope that one thing she knows: That this boy's heartbreak it's all for the sake Of the lass there in Cumberland Road.
