[00:14.86]	The first time I met my Moorlough Mary
[00:18.73]	Twas in the market of Sweet Strabane
[00:22.56]	Her killing glances were so engaging
[00:26.41]	The hearts of young men she did trepann
[00:30.07]
[00:30.32]	Her killing glances berefit my senses
[00:34.69]	Of peace or comfort either night or day
[00:38.04]	And in silent slumber I start and murmur
[00:41.92]	Oh Moorlough Mary, won’t you come away.
[00:45.60]
[00:45.85]	Now were I a man of great education
[00:49.67]	Or Erin’s Isle at my own command
[00:53.51]	I would lay my head on your snowy bosom
[00:57.43]	In wedlock bands love we’d join our hands
[01:01.07]
[01:01.32]	I would entertain you both night and morning
[01:05.21]	With robes I’d deck you, both fine and gay
[01:09.05]	And with kisses sweet I would embrace you
[01:12.93]	Oh Mary, won’t you come away.
[01:40.60]
[01:40.85]	Now I’ll away to my situation
[01:44.77]	Where my recreation is all in view
[01:48.71]	On the river Mourne where salmon sporting
[01:52.58]	The rocks re-echoing with something new
[01:56.18]
[01:56.43]	The thrush and blackbird all join in chorus
[02:00.30]	Their notes melodious on Ruskae brae.
[02:04.15]	And the sweet lough stream I would restore you
[02:08.02]	Saying Moorlough Mary, won’t you come away.
[02:11.70]
[02:11.95]	So fare thee well young Moorlough Mary
[02:15.82]	Ten thousand times I bid you adieu
[02:19.64]	While life remains in my glowing bosom
[02:23.51]	I’ll never cease love to think on you
[02:27.08]
[02:27.33]	Now I’ll away to some lonesome valley
[02:31.30]	With tears bewailing, both night and day
[02:35.17]	To some silent arbour where none can hear me
[02:42.81]	Where none can hear me
[02:50.70]	Where none can hear me

[00:14.86]	The first time I met my Moorlough Mary
