lyrics

One evening for pleasure I rambled,
On the banks of some cold purling stream,
I sat down on a bed of primroses,
And I gently fell into a dream,
I dreamt that I saw a fair female,
Her equal I ne'er saw before,
And I sighed for the laws of our country,
As we stray there on Ireland's Green Shore,

Her cheeks were like two bloomin' roses,
And her teeth were like ivory so white,
Her eyes shone like two sparkling diamonds,
Or the stars on some cold frosty night,
She was dressed in the richest attire,
And green was the mantle that she wore,
All bound down with hemlocks and the roses,
As we stray there on Ireland's green shore,

Transgression of joy I awoken,
I found this was only a dream,
That pretty fair female had fled me,
I longed to be slumbering again,
May the heavens above be her guardian,
Though I know I'll never see her anymore,
May the goldiest sunbeam shine upon her,
As she lay sleeping on Ireland's green shore,

One evening for pleasure I rambled,
On the banks of some cold purling stream,
I sat down on a bed of primroses,
And I gently fell into a dream.
