Banks Of The Lee

[00:00.90] When two lovers meet down beside the green bower

[00:10.90] When two lovers meet down beneath the green tree

[00:20.16] When Mary, fond Mary, declared unto her lover

[00:29.65] "You have stolen my poor heart from the Banks of the Lee"

[00:40.15] I loved her very dearly, so truly and sincerely

[00:51.40] There was no one in this wide world I loved better than she

[01:03.15] Every bush and every bower, every wild Irish flower

[01:14.40] Reminds me of my Mary, on the banks of the Lee

[01:26.15] "Well don't stay out late, love, on the moorlands, my Mary

[01:37.15] Well don't stay out late, love, on the moorlands from me"

[01:47.91] How little was our notion when we parted on the ocean

[01:58.16] That we were forever parted from the Banks of the Lee

[02:09.15] I loved her very dearly, so truly and sincerely

[02:20.90] There was no one in this wide world I loved better than she

[02:32.91] Every bush and every bower, every wild Irish flower

[02:44.65] Reminds me of my Mary, on the banks of the Lee

[02:56.65] I will pluck my love some roses, some blooming Irish roses

[03:08.90] I will pluck my love some roses, the fairest that ever grew

[03:20.66] And I'll lay them on the grave of my own true lovely Mary

[03:31.65] In that cold and silent churchyard where she sleeps 'neath the dew

[03:43.90] I loved her very dearly, so truly and sincerely

[03:55.65] There was no one in this wide world I loved better than she

[04:07.90] Every bush and every bower, every wild Irish flower

[04:19.40] Reminds me of my Mary, on the banks of the Lee
