Moorlough Shore lyrics

Your hills and dales and flowery vales

That lie near the Moorlough Shore

Your vines that blow by Borden's grove

Will I ever see you more?

Where the primrose glows

And the violet grows

Where the trout and salmon play

With my line and hook delight I took

To spend my youthful days

Last night I went to see my love

To hear what she might say

To see if she'd take pity on me

Lest I might go away

She said, "I loved an Irish lad

And he was my only joy

And ever since I saw his face

I have loved that soldier boy"

Perhaps your soldier lad is lost

Sailing over the sea of Maine

Or perhaps he's gone with some other one

You may never see him again

Well, if my Irish lad is lost

He's the one I do adore

And seven years I'll wait for him

By the banks of the Moorlough Shore
