A Song (continued)
“As I went out walking one morning in spring to hear the birds whistle, and the nightingale sing.”
(continued from previous page)His cheeks they were red and his eyes they were blue,
I would give all the riches in High - Germany,
For one kiss from my, Buachaill na gruaige breágh buidhe.

He says "My pretty Mary, I'm no stranger to thee
It was late on last night, when I drove from Tralee;
So get yourself ready, and come along with me,
For I am your own buachaill na gruaige breágh buidhe
5
This couple got married, I hear people say;
And off to Killarney they drove the next day;
They are now safely married in the town of Tralee,
They are as happy as can be
With Grádh Geal mo croidhe.
