[00:08.08]Oh Mary this London's a wonderful sight
[00:15.40]With people here working by day and by night
[00:22.66]They don't sow potatoes nor barley nor wheat
[00:29.73]But there's gangs of them diggin' for gold in the street
[00:37.33]At least when I asked them that's what I was told
[00:44.38]So I just took a hand at this diggin' for gold;
[00:51.82]But for all that I've found there I might as well be
[00:58.98]Where the Mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea
[01:06.36]I believe that when writin' a wish you expressed
[01:13.25]As to how the fine lAdies of London are dressed
[01:20.83]Well if you believe me when asked to a ball
[01:28.01]They don't wear no tops to their dresses at all
[01:35.07]Oh I've seen them myself and you could not in thrath
[01:42.62]Say if they were bound for a ball or a bath
[01:49.65]Don't be startin' them fashions now Mary Machree
[01:56.86]Where the Mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea
[02:04.47]I've seen England's king from the top of a bus
[02:11.42]And I've never known him but he means to know us
[02:18.96]And tho' by the Saxon we once were oppressed
[02:25.76]Still I cheered God forgive me I cheered with the rest
[02:33.48]And now that he's visited Erin's green shore
[02:40.76]We'll be much better friends than we've been heretofore
[02:48.20]When we've got all we want we're as quiet as can be
[02:55.06]Where the Mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea
[03:02.71]There's beautiful girls here Oh never you mind
[03:09.80]With beautiful shapes nature never designed
[03:17.12]And lovely complexions all roses and cream
[03:24.32]But O'Loughlin remarked with regard to the same
[03:31.73]That if at those roses you venture to sip
[03:38.83]The colors might all come away on your lip
[03:46.02]So I'll wait for the wild rose that's waitin' for me
[03:53.17]Where the Mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea
[04:00.31]Where the Mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea
