The Maid Of Ballydoo - The Clancy Brothers/David Hammond/Families
It was on a summer's evening
All in the month of May
Down by yon shady arbor
As I carelessly did stray
It was there I met a charming girl
Most pleasant to my view
And the title that she gave herself
Was the Maid of Ballydoo
I gently stepped up to her
And unto her did say
Are you Aurora or Flo the Queen of May
Or is it the fair Helen
That appears all in my view
But the title that she gave herself
Was the Maid of Ballydoo
I took her by the lilywhite hand
And by the waist so small
I showed her my father's garden down
By the river Bann
Where the sheep and lambs do sport and play
The trout and salmon too
And says I young maid don't be afraid
For to leave old Ballydoo
Well it was with great persuasion
That I got her for to give consent
And hand in hand together
It was Hilltown down we went
We there had liquor of the best
And some of the mountain dew
And she soon forgot the vows she made
When leaving Ballydoo
It was a summer's evening
All in the month of June
As I was sitting silently
Condoling at my loom
My scissors they cut sweetly
And my shuttle nimbly flew
When I first composed these verses
On the Maid of Ballydoo
