Ballynure Ballad

Verse 1

As I was goin' to Ballynure, The day I will remember, For to view the lads and lasses on The fifth day of November,

Chorus 1

With a ma-ring-doo-a-day, With a ma-ring-a-doo-a-daddy oh!

Verse 2

As I was goin' along the road When homeward I was walking. I hear a wee lad behind a ditch-a To his wee lass was talking,

Verse 3

Said the wee lad to the wee lass, "Oh will ye let me kiss ye, For it's I have got the cordial eye That far exceeds the whiskey."

Verse 4

This cordial that ye talk about There's very few o' them gets it, For there's nothin' now but crooked combs And muslin gowns can catch it.
