Where true lovers meets and beneath the green bower
Where true lovers meet and beneath a green tree
And Mary oh found Mary she says until our true love
You have stolen my young heart on the banks of the Lee
And I loved her very dearly most truly and sincerely
There is no one in this wild world I loved more than she
Every bush end every bower every wild Irish flower
Reminds me on my Mary on the banks of the Lee
Don't stay here too late long on the moorlands my Mary
Don't stay here loo late long on the moorlands for me
But it's little was my notion when we parted by the ocean
But we were forever parted from the banks of the Lee
I will pore my love some roses some wild Irish roses
I will pore my love some roses the fairest as I see
And I lay among the graveside of my own dear darling Mary
On that cold and silent grave where she sleeps beneath the tree
