Oh Mary, this London's a wonderful sight With the people here working by day and by night They don't sow potatoes nor barley nor wheat But there's gangs of them diggin' for gold in the street But at least when I asked them that's what I was told So I just took a hand at this diggin' for gold But for all that I've found there I might as well be In the place where the dark Mourne sweep down to the sea I believe that when writin' a wish you expressed As to how the fine ladies of London were dressed But if you'll believe me when asked to a ball They don't wear no tops to their dresses at all I've seen them myself and you could not in truth Tell if they were bound for a ball or a bath Don't be startin' them fashions now Mary McRee In the place where the dark Mourne sweep down to the sea There's beautiful girls here, oh never you mind Beautiful shapes nature never designed Lovely complexions of roses and cream But let me remark with regard to the same That if at those roses you venture to sip The colours might all come away on your lip So I'll wait for the wild Rose that's waitin' for me In the place where the dark Mourn sweep down to the sea You remember young Danny McClaren, of course Well now he's round here with the rest of the force I saw him one day as I was passing the Strand And he stopped the whole street with one wave of his hand And as we were talkin’ of days that are gone The whole town of London stood there to look on But for all his great powers he's wishful like me To be back where the dark Mourne sweep down to the sea But for all his great powers he's wishful like me To be back where the dark Mourne sweep down to the sea
