| So now I’ll sing to you, about a maiden fair,
|
| I met the other evening at the corner of the square.
|
| She had a dark and roving eye, she was a charming
|
| Rover,
|
| And we rode all night, through the pale moonlight
|
| Away down to Lamorna.
|
| Chorus
|
| Twas down in Albert square
|
| I never shall forget,
|
| Her eyes they shone like diamonds
|
| And the evening it was wet, wet, wet.
|
| Her hair hung down in curls,
|
| She was a charming rover,
|
| And we rode all night,
|
| Through the pale moonlight,
|
| Away down to Lamorna.
|
| As we got in the cab, I asked her for her name,
|
| And when she gave it me, well, mine it was the same,
|
| So I lifted up her veil, for her face was covered over,
|
| And to my surprise, it was my wife,
|
| I took down to Lamorna.
|
| Chorus
|
| She said, I know you now, I knew you all along,
|
| I knew you in the dark, but I did it for a lark,
|
| And for that lark you’ll pay, for the taking of the
|
| Donah:
|
| You’ll pay the fare, for I declare,
|
| Away down to Lamorna.
|
| Chorus |
