Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

Oh, Mary, this London’s a wonderful sight
\nWith people here working by day and by night
\nThey don’t sow potatoes, nor barley, nor wheat
\nBut there’ gangs of them digging for gold in the streets
\nAt least when I asked them that’s what I was told
\nSo I just took a hand at this diggin’ for gold
\nBut for all that I found there I might as well be
\nWhere the Mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea<\/p>\n

I believe that when writin’ a wish you expressed
\nAs to how the fine ladies in London were dressed
\nWell, if you believe me, when asked to a ball
\nFaith, they don’t wear a top to their dresses at all.
\nOh, I’ve seen them myself and you could not in truth
\nSay if they were bound for a ball or a bath
\nDon’t be startin’ them fashions now, Mary Macree
\nWhere the mountains of Mourne sweep out to the sea<\/p>\n

You remember young Peter O’Loughlin, of course
\nWell, now he is here at the head of the force
\nI met him today, I was crossing the Strand
\nAnd he stopped the whole street with a wave of his hand
\nAnd there we stood talkin’ of days that are gone
\nWhile the whole population of London looked on
\nBut for all these great powers he’s wishful like me
\nTo be back where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the sea<\/p>\n

There’s beautiful girls here, oh, never you mind
\nWith beautiful shapes nature never designed
\nAnd lovely complexions all roses and cream
\nBut O’Loughlin remarked with regard to the same
\nThat if at those roses you ventured to sip
\nThe colors might all come away on your lip
\nSo I’ll wait for the wild rose that’s waitin’ for me
\nWhere the Mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
