One pleasant summer's morning
when all the flowers were
springing Oh
Nature was adorning and the wee
birds sweetly singing Oh
I met my love near Banbridge
Town my charming blue eyed
Sally Oh
She's the queen of the County
Down the flower of Magherally Oh
With admiration I did gaze upon
this blue eyed maiden Oh
Adam wasn't half so much pleased
when he met Eve in Eden Oh
Her skin was like the lily white
that grows in yonder valley Oh
She's my queen and my heart's
delight the flower of
Magherally Oh
Her yellow hair in ringlets
clung her shoes were Spanish
leather Oh
Her bonnet with blue ribbons
strung her scarlet cap and
feather Oh
Like Venus bright she did
appear my charming blue eyed
Sally Oh
She's the girl that I love dear
the flower of Magherally Oh
I hope the day will surely come
when we'll join hands together Oh
'Tis then I'll bring my darling
home in spite of wind or weather
Oh
And let them all say what they
will and let them reel and rally
Oh
For I shall wed the girl I love
the flower of Magherally Oh
