A Noreen ban when first we met I can see the roses yet And the light that lit your happy eyes of blue I can hear your sweet voice say Welcome as the flowers of May As it did when first I whispered back to you
Will you come with me a stoir When the summer days are o’er And the rooks are winging homeward in the sky Where the mountains rise away Over a field of gold and grey We'll go home to Slaney Valley you and I
A Noreen ban when you said yes Brim-full was my happiness Summer sped as ne'er before on flying feet Never shone the moon so bright In a starry cape of night Never sang the thrushes so divinely sweet
A Noreen ban for years you've been In my heart its rightful queen Ever loving ever tender ever true On my heart your smile did shine Gladdening all it glowed upon As it did when first I whispered back to you
Will you come with me a stoir When the summer days are o’er And the rooks are winging homeward in the sky Where the mountains rise away Over a field of gold and grey We'll go home to Slaney Valley you and I
