One night as I lay slumbering in my silent bed alone
Some reckless thoughts came to my mind which caused me for to roam
To leave my native country and the wee girl I do adore
So I thought it fit to take a trip, strange lands for to explore
Now the night before I went away I was walking over Brackagh Hill
When I met my darling on the road and her eyes with tears did fill
"Stay you at home dear John" she said "and do not go away
For I`ll have none for comfort me when you are on the sea"
Well I took her by the lily white hand and I held her hard and fast
Saying "adieu to you my darling for my ship it lies in Belfast
But if you prove loyal sour I`ll prove true for you know that I`m well inclined"
So we kissed goodbye and parted and I left my girl behind
And when we landed in Greenock sure the people all gathered around
And they said I was a raknish lad come to put their harvest down
They told me to return again and never more be seen
So without delay I sailed away for Ireland`s lovely green
Sure when Mary heard that John was home her heart did beat with joy
Saying "come into my arms" she cried "you`re my darling lovely boy"
Saying "come into my arms" she cried "of you I have thought great and long
And let them all say as they will, our wedding will now go on
