Mary From Dungloe

Oh, then fare thee well, sweet Donegal, Rosses and Gweedore.
I'm crossing the main ocean,
where the foaming billows roar,
it breaks my heart from you to part, where I spent many happy days.
Farewell to kind relations
I am bound for Amerikay.

Ah, then Mary, you're my heart's delight, my pride and only care,
it was your cruel father
would not let me stay there.
But absence makes the heart grow fond and when I am over the main,
may the Lord protect my darling girl till I return again.

And I wished I was in sweet Dungloe and seated on the grass.
And by my side a bottle of wine
and on my knee a lass.
I'll call for liquor of the best
and I'd pay before I would go
and I'll roll my Mary in my arms
in the town of sweet Dungloe.
