The Banks Of The Lee Lyrics

Where true lovers meet beneath the green bower

Where true lovers meeted beneath the green tree

And Mary, fond Mary, she says unto her true love

"You have stolen my young heart by the banks of the Lee"

Chorus:

For I loved her very dearly, most truly and sincerely

There is no one in this wide world I love more than she

Every bush and every bower, every wild Irish flower

Reminds me of my Mary, on the banks of the Lee

"Don't stay out too late, love, on the moorlands, my MarySilly Wizard - The Banks Of The Lee - http://motolyrics.com/silly-wizard/the-banks-of-the-lee-lyrics.html

Don't stay out too late, love, on the moorlands for me"

But it's little was my notion, when we parted by the ocean

That we were forever parted by the banks of the Lee

Chorus

I will pull my love some roses, some wild Irish roses

I will pull my love some roses, the fairest to see

And I'll lay them on the gravesite of my own dear darling Mary

On that cold and silent grave where she sleeps 'neath the dew

Chorus
