Track 11 (Trad. Arr. Niamh Parsons and Graham Dunne) THE FLOWER OF MAGHERALLY O One pleasant summer’s morning when all the flowers were blooming O Nature was adorning and the wee birds they were singing O I met my love near Bambridge Town, my charming blue eyed Sally O She is the Queen of the County Down, my Flower of Magherally O With admiration I did gaze upon that blue eyed Lassie O Adam never had so much joy, when he saw Eve in Eden O Her skin was like the lily white, that blooms in yonder garden O She is my queen and my heart’s delight, my Flower of Magherally O Her yellow hair in ringlets hung, her boots of Spanish leather O Her bonnet with blue ribbons on, her scarlet scarf and feather O Like Venus bright she did appear, my charming blue eyed Sally O She is the girl that I love dear, my Flower of Magherally O And I hope the day will surely come, when we’ll join hands together O It’s then I’ll bring my true love home, in spite of wind and weather O And let them all say what they will, and let them reel and rally O For I will wed the girl I love, my Flower of Magherally O
