One pleasant summer's morning when all the flowers were springing O Nature was adorning and the wee birds sweetly singing O I met my love near Banbridge Town, my charming blue-eyed Sally O She's the queen of the County Down, the flower of Maherally O With admiration I did gaze upon this blue-eyed maiden O Adam wasn't half so pleased when he met his Eve in Eden O Her skin was like the lily white that grows in yonder valley O She's my queen and my heart's delight, the flower of Maherally O I hope the day will surely come when we'll join hands together O 'Tis then I'll take my darling home in spite of wind and weather O And let them all say what they will and let them reel and rally O For I shall wed the girl I love, the flower of Maherally O And let them all say what they will and let them reel and rally O For I shall wed the girl I love, the flower of Maherally O
