Banks of the Bann - Jackie Oates
When first to this country as a stranger I came
I placed my affection and I go but was young
She being farm and tender her waist small and slender
Fond nature had formed her for my overthrow
On the banks of the Bann it was there
I first met her
She appeared like an angel or Egypt's fair queen
Her eyes were like diamonds or stars brightly shining
She's one of the fairest whatever I've seen
It was her cruel parents that first caused a variance
Because I was poor and above my degree
But I'll do my endeavour to gain my love's favour
Although she is from of a high family
My name is Delaney it's a name that won't shame me
And if I'd have money I would never have roamed
But drinking and sporting night rambling and courting
Are the 'cause of all me ruin and absence from home
I've hand and I die is in is Indies
I'd put rings on her fingers and gold in her ears
It's there on the banks of the lovely Bann River
In all kinds of splendour I'd live with my dear
