Where true lovers meets and beneath the green bower Where true lovers meet and beneath a green tree And Mary oh found Mary she says until our true love You have stolen my young heart on the banks of the Lee
And I loved her very dearly most truly and sincerely There is no one in this wild world I loved more than she Every bush end every bower every wild Irish flower Reminds me on my Mary on the banks of the Lee
Don't stay here too late long on the moorlands my Mary Don't stay here loo late long on the moorlands for me But it's little was my notion when we parted by the ocean But we were forever parted from the banks of the Lee
I will pore my love some roses some wild Irish roses I will pore my love some roses the fairest as I see And I lay among the graveside of my own dear darling Mary On that cold and silent grave where she sleeps beneath the tree
