Thread Name: Lyr Req: Down in Albert Square
Subject: Lyr Add: LAMORNA
I knew I had the words somewhere

LAMORNA

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 danced all night In the pale moonlight
Way down to Lamorna

So now I'll sing to you Its about a maiden fair
I met the other evening In the corner of the square
Her hair hung down in curls She was a charming rover
And we danced all night In the pale moonlight
Way down to Lamorna

As we got in the chair I asked her for her name
And when she gave it to me, well mine it was the same
So I lifted up her veil For her face was covered over
To my surprise It was my wife
I took down to Lamorna

She said I thought you knew I knew you all along
I knew you in the dark but I did it for a lark
And for that lark you'll pay for the taking of a doner
You'll pay the fare I do declare
Way down to Lamorna
