Thanks Mike

So now hearing this again; you're right ;)

Updated lyrics

When I was a youth I rambled the hillsides night and day.
When I was only seventeen my heart was light and gay,
But tomorrow I am leaving from places all around,
And I'm leaving lovely Mary, the pride of Tralee town.

For I met her in the springtime at a dance near Banna Strand
To see her and her companions; they'd be dancing hand in hand.
She looked so slim and lovely in her dark green velvet gown,
And I fell in love with Mary, the pride of Tralee town.

I asked her if she'd take the floor and dance some steps with me.
We did 'The Siege of Ennis' and some polkas wild and free,
Her hair in long black tresses for her shoulders sailing down,
And I danced the feet with Mary, the pride of Tralee town.

For the summer months we courted beneath the Kerry stars.
We sang out all the old ballads in the Ballybunion bars.
For the castle green we wandered, and the silver moon beamed down,
And I kissed my darling Mary, the pride of Tralee town.

For the golden leaves of autumn gave way to winter's cold,
And another came a-courting her, and he stole her heart of gold,
For he had many acres, in the townlands all around,
And it with, he showered at Mary, the pride of Tralee town.

So farewell, my good companions. I'll take the morning train.
I'm bound for South Australia, and you won't see me again.
He's a richer but no better man, so my tears come tumbling down,
For the fair false hearted Mary, the pride of Tralee town,
For the fair false hearted Mary, the pride of Tralee town.

(p.s. I'm not sure if it's "for the fair false heart of Mary", or "fair false hearted")
