DerrytreskGirl Lyr Req: O'Reilly the Fisherman (19) RE: Lyr Req: O'Reilly the Fisherman 28 Aug 09


I know for a fact the recording i have isn't Blackwaterside- "As I roved out one evening...."

I have tried to listen word for word of my recording and this is what i have come up with so far.

"One evening fair to take the air (although?)
I chanced to stray down by a silvery winding stream (..........)
I overheard a maid complain as the tears fell from her eyes
Saying "my love is on the ocean wide bound for Americkay"

John O'Reilly was my true loves name he lived near the town of Brae.....

I have the whole song on recording but not all the words are easily picked up.

Thanks, still hoping for help
Derrytresk Girl.
