Subject: Lyr Add: WAY DOWN TO LAMORNA

From memory...

Chorus.
'Twas down in Albert Square, I never shall forget,
Her eyes they shone like diamonds and the evening it was wet, wet, wet.
Her hair hung down in curls she was a charming rover
we rode all night in the pale moonlight, a way down to Lamorna.

When she got in the cab, I asked her for her name
and when she gave it me, well mine it was the same
I lifted up her veil for her face was covered over
to my surprise it was my wife I took down to Lamorna

Chorus.

She said I know you now, I knew you all along
I knew you in the dark and I did it for a lark
and for that lark you'll pay for the taking of your Donah
You'll pay the fare for riding there, a way to Lamorna.

Chorus.
