I
met my love near Banbridge Town, my charming blue-eyed Sally-o,

She’s
the star of County Down, and the flower of Magherally-o.
In
admiration I did gaze, upon this blue-eyed maiden,
Adam
wasn’t half as amazed, when he met Eve in Eden,
Like
Venus bright she did appear, my charming blue-eyed Sally-o,
She’s
my queen, my heart’s delight, my flower of Magherally-o.
Her
golden hair in ringlets hung, her shoes were Spanish leather,
Her
bonnet with blue ribbons clung, her scarlet cap and feather,
Her
skin was like the lilly white, that grows in yonder valley-o,
She’s
the girl that I adore, the flower of Magherally-o.
Instrumental
And
I hope the day it soon will come, when we join hands together,
It’s
then I’ll take my darling home, come wind or stormy weather,
Ah
let them all say what they will, and let them reel and rally-o
For
I will wed the girl I love, the flower of Magherally-o.
