On The Banks Of the Lee ======================= Where true lovers meet, Beneath the green bower Where true lovers meet, beneath the green tree And Mary, Fond Mary, she says unto her True Love You have stolen my young heart, on the banks of the Lee CHORUS: For I loved her very dearly, Most truly and sincerely There is noone in this wide world I love more than she Every Birch, and every bower, every wild Irish flower Reminds me of my Mary, on the banks of the Lee Don't stay out too late love, on the muirlands my Mary Don't stay out too late love, on the muirlands for me But little was my notion, when we parted by the Ocean That we were forever partin', by the banks of the Lee Chorus I will pull my love some roses, some wild Irish roses I will pull my love some roses, the fairest I see And I lay them on the gravesite, of my own sweet darlin' Mary On that cold and silent gravesite, where she sleeps beneath the dew Chorus
