    Come all ye boys of Binion
    I pray be well aware
    Never cast you eye on any fly
    That wears the golden hair
    For if you do your' sure to rue
    And that you'll shortly see
    And you will go your lone
    you'll sigh and mourn around sweet
    Binion Bay.
    The glances of this fair one
    The love that you behold
    Her hair hangs over her shoulders
    Like links of lovely gold
    Her voice is so melodious
    With her sweet melodious day
    As she goes her lone
    She views the foam around sweet
    Binion Bay
