Oh my love is tall and handsome and her age is scarce eighteen
She far exceeds all other fair maids when she trips o’er the green
Her lovely neck and shoulders are fairer than the snow
Till the day I die I’ll ne’er deny my Mary from Dungloe
If I was at home in sweet Dungloe a letter I would write
Kind thoughts would fill my bosom for Mary, my delight
‘Tis in her father’s garden the fairest violets grow
And ’twas there I came to court the maid, my Mary from Dungloe
Ah, then Mary, you’re my heart’s delight, my pride and only care
It was your cruel father would not let me stay there
But absence makes the heart grow fond and when I’m o’er the main
May the Lord protect my darling girl till I return again
And I wished I was in sweet Dungloe and seated on the grass
And by my side a bottle of wine and on my knee a lass
I’d call for liquor of the best and I’d pay before I would go
And I’d roll my Mary in my arms in the town of sweet Dungloe
