“My match is a-making since ere last night”
1. My match is a making since ere last night.
But not to the girl that I love best.
I'll leave all behind me and go with your.
Down by the banks of the roses.
11.
Sleep till milking-time it is my heart's delight.
A bed of green rushes under my side.
A bottle of liquir under my head.
And my bonnie brown girl in my arms.
111
Ere last night three hours before day.
I wrote my love a letter but she was far away.
The lark and the thrush and the blackbirds say.
That my love sailed over the ocean.
1111
I travelled behind and I travelled before.
I travelled Dublin and city Athlone.
But the like of my true-love I never saw before.
But one brown girl and she left me.
