Silly Wizard - The Banks of the Lee Lyrics
When true lovers meet down beneath the green treeWhen Mary, fond Mary, declared to her true love"You have stolen my poor heart from the Banks of the Lee"I loved her very dearly, most true and sincerelyThere was no one in this wide world I loved more than sheEvery bush, every bower, every wild Irish flowerReminds me of my Mary, on the banks of the Lee."Don't stay out too late, love, on the moorlands, my MaryDon't stay out too late, love, on the moorlands from me"But it's little was my notion when we parted on the oceanThat we were forever partin by the Banks of the LeeI loved her very dearly, most true and sincerelyThere was no one in this wide world I loved more than sheEvery bush, every bower, every wild Irish flowerReminds me of my Mary, on the banks of the Lee.I will pull my love some roses, some wild Irish rosesI will pull my love her some roses, the fairest e'er seenAnd I'll leave them on the grave of my own dear darlin MaryIn that cold and silent churchyard where she sleeps 'neath the dewI loved her very dearly, most true and sincerelyThere was no one in this wide world I loved more than sheEvery bush, every bower, every wild Irish flowerReminds me of my Mary, on the banks of the Lee.
