[00:00:00] The Mountains of Mourne - John Roche

[00:00:00] Written by： Percy French

[00:00:10] Oh Mary this London's a wonderful sight

[00:00:15] With people here working by day and by night

[00:00:20] They don't sow potatoes nor barley nor wheat

[00:00:25] But there's gangs of them digging for gold in the street

[00:00:29] At least when I asked them that's what I was told

[00:00:34] So I just took a hand at this digging for gold

[00:00:40] But for all that I found there I might as well be

[00:00:45] Where the mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea

[00:00:52] I believe that when writing a wish you expressed

[00:00:56] As to know how the fine ladies in London were dressed

[00:01:00] Well if you'll believe me when asked to a ball

[00:01:05] They don't wear no top to their dresses at all

[00:01:10] Oh I've seen them meself and you could not in truth

[00:01:14] Say if they were bound for a ball or a bath

[00:01:21] Don't be starting such fashions now Mary mo chroí

[00:01:26] Where the mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea

[00:01:37] You remember young Peter O'Loughlin of course

[00:01:41] Well now he is here at the head of the force

[00:01:45] I met him today I was crossing the Strand

[00:01:49] And he stopped the whole street with a wave of his hand

[00:01:54] And there we stood talkin' of days that are gone

[00:01:59] While the whole population of London looked on

[00:02:05] But for all these great powers he's wishful like me

[00:02:11] To be back where the dark Mournes sweep down to the sea

[00:02:19] There's beautiful girls here oh never you mind

[00:02:25] With beautiful shapes nature never designed

[00:02:29] And lovely complexions all roses and cream

[00:02:34] But let me remark with regard to the same

[00:02:39] That if of those roses you venture to sip

[00:02:44] The colours might all come away on your lip

[00:02:52] So I'll wait for the wild rose that's waiting for me

[00:03:02] Where the mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea
