A Ballynure Ballad - Christopher Lynch

As I was going to Ballynure

A day I well remember

To view the lads and lassies

On the fifth day of December

With a my ring-doo-a-day

With a my ring-a-doo-a daddy o

As I was going along the road

As onward I was walking

I heard a wee lad behind the ditch-a

To his wee lass was talking

With a my ring-doo-a-day

With a my ring-a-doo-a daddy o

Says this wee lad to this wee lass

It's will you let me kiss ye

For it's I have got the cordial eye

That far exceeds the whiskey

With a my ring-doo-a-day

With a my ring-a-doo-a daddy o

This cordial that you talk about

There's very few o' them gets it

For it's knock now but crooked combs

With muslin gowns can catch it

With a my ring-doo-a-day

With a my ring-a-doo-a daddy o

As I was going along the road

As onward I was walking

I heard a wee lad behind the ditch-a

To his wee lass was talking

With a my ring-doo-a-day

With a my ring-a-doo-a daddy o
