• The Lurgy Streams

When to this country first I came,
My mind from love was free,
And the charms of the female sex
Have not enticeth me.
There I beheld a beauty bright,
Who set my heart aflame,
Her dark-brown hair rose in the air
Along by the Lurgy Streams.

'Twas on the Thursday evening
My love I chance to meet,
I took her in my arms
And I gave her kisses sweet.
I asked her if she would marry me
Or single still remain,
Or if she would cross the seas
And leave the Lurgy Streams.

This fair maid she did answered,
Her love she couldn't hide,
Saying, "I have no objections,
Young man, to be your bride,
And leave my parents' happy home
Where joy and mirth do ring,
But I would go over the seas with you
And leave the Lurgy Streams."

"Oh, if I should cross over the seas with you,
I might get lots of blame.
You might fall in love with some other fair maid
And leave me here in pain.
Young men are false in general;
Perhaps you are the same.
But I would cross over the seas with you
And leave the Lurgy Streams."

So farewell to Letterkenny town
Likewise the ... Shore
Where manys a happy hour I spent,
That I would see ne'er more.
And 'wise farewelell to
Where of times I have been
Likewise to Kilmacrennan town,
That lies by the Lurgy Streams.
