Thread Name: Lyr Req: Cumberland Road (Original Irish Boys)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Cumberland Road
I found a sound sample and transcribed a bit of it:

... 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 all that summer we strolled [or "we'd stroll" or "we strode"?],
Never knowing the pain of loves lost and loves gained, [or "love's loss and love's gain"?]
That summer in Cumberland Road.
