Thread Name: Lyr Req: Flower of Magherally (from Kevin Conneff
Subject: Lyr Add: FLOWER OF MAGHERALLY
Hello Radriano,

FLOWER OF MAGHERALLY

It was on a summers morning
when flowers were a-blooming,o.
When meadows were adorning
and small birds sweetly tuning,o
I met my love near Banbridge town,
My charming blooming Sally o
And she is the Queen of County Down
the flower of Magherally,o.

With admiration I did gaze
Upon this blooming maiden o
Adam never was more struck
When he first saw Eve in Eden, o.
Her skin was like the Lly white
That grows in yonder valley, o
And I think i`m blest when I am nigh
The flower of Magherally, o.

Her yellow hair in ringlets fell,
Her shoes were Spanish leather,o
Her bonnet with blue ribbons strung,
Her scarlet scarf and feather,o
Like Venus bright she did appear
My charming blooming Sally o
And she is the girl that I love dear,
The Flowere of Magherally,o.

An Irish lad although I be,
With neither wealth nor treasure,o
But yet I love my dearest dear,
I love her beyond measure ,o.
If i`d all the wealth that is possessed
By the great Titharally, o.
