Oh, Mary, this London's a wonderful sight |
| [00:06.69] |
With people here working by day and by night |
| [00:12.99] |
They don't sow potatoes nor barley nor wheat |
| [00:18.82] |
But there's gangs of them diggin' for gold in the street |
| [00:25.50] |
At least when I asked them, that's what I was told |
| [00:31.29] |
So I just took a hand at this diggin' for gold |
| [00:37.75] |
But for all that I've found there, I might as well be |
| [00:43.70] |
In the place where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the sea |
| [01:04.16] |
I believe that when writin' a wish you expressed |
| [01:10.40] |
As to how the fine ladies in London were dressed |
| [01:17.46] |
But if you'll believe me, when asked to a ball |
| [01:24.02] |
They don't wear no tops to their dresses at all |
| [01:30.40] |
Oh, I've seen them myself and you could not in truth |
| [01:36.98] |
Tell if they were bound for a ball or a bath |
| [01:43.46] |
Don't be startin' them fashions now, Mary McRee, |
| [01:50.03] |
In the place where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the sea |
| [02:23.07] |
There's beautiful girls here, oh, never you mind |
| [02:29.44] |
Beautiful shapes Nature never designed |
| [02:35.91] |
Lovely complexions of roses and cream |
| [02:42.70] |
But let me remark with regard to the same |
| [02:49.40] |
That if at those roses you venture to sit |
| [02:55.51] |
The colors might all come away on your lip |
| [03:01.97] |
So I'll wait for the wild rose that's waitin' for me |
| [03:08.71] |
In the place where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the sea |
| [03:29.09] |
You remember young Danny McClaren, of course |
| [03:35.74] |
But he's over here with the rest of the force |
| [03:42.03] |
I saw him one day as he stood on the strand |
| [03:48.73] |
Stopped all the traffic with a wave of his hand |
| [03:55.58] |
As we were talking of days that are gone |
| [04:02.05] |
The whole town of London stood there to look on |
| [04:08.39] |
But for all his great powers, he's wishful like me |
| [04:15.28] |
To be back where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the sea |
