Once we had fishes that swam to our shore Once we had flax and potatoes galore And the kindest of neighbors our own kith and kin Such as young Nora Garvey the pride of Dunquin
She made the fine butter and spun the fine wool Ah those were the days when our bellies were full The likes of her beauty we will not see again Sweet Nora Garvey the pride of Dunquin
We prayed that Lord Ventry would build us a boat So strong and substantial to keep us afloat We would sail to a port where they let Irish in Twould have saved Nora Garvey the pride of Dunquin
But the boat was not built and the ship did not sail And we watched our young Nora grow feeble and pale Our fine strapping maiden grew famished and thin Farewell Nora Garvey the pride of Dunquin
In St. Catherine’s churchyard we said prayers for her soul Not a man had the strength for to dig her a hole There’s a new Celtic cross where a rock cairn had been Rest in peace Nora Garvey the pride of Dunquin
