Silly Wizard - The Banks of the Lee (Scottish Ballad) lyrics

[media=https://youtu.be/RGv3S6Tbd1U]
When two lovers meet,
down by the green bower..
When two lovers meet,
down beneath the green tree..
When Mary.. fond Mary, she says unto her true love:
"You have stolen my young heart from the Banks of the Lee."

For I loved very dearly..
Most truly and sincerely.
There is no one in this wide world,
I loved more than she.
Every bush and every bower..
Every wild Irish flower, reminds me of my Mary,
on the Banks of the Lee.

"Don't stay out too late, love,
on the moorlands, my Mary.
Don't stay out too late, love,
on the moorlands for me."
But it's little was my notion,
when we parted by the ocean.
That we were forever parting,
by the Banks of the Lee.

For I loved her very dearly..
Most truly and sincerely.
There is no one in this wide world,
I loved more than she.
Every bush and every bower..
Every wild Irish flower, reminds me of my Mary,
on the Banks of the Lee.

I will pull my love some roses,
Some wild Irish roses.
I will pull my love some roses,
the fairest to see.
And I'll lay them on the graveside
of my own dear darlin Mary.
On that cold and silent grave,
where she sleeps 'neath the dew.

For I loved her very dearly..
Most truly and sincerely.
There is no one in this wide world,
I loved more than she.
Every bush and every bower..
Every wild Irish flower, reminds me of my Mary,
on the Banks of the Lee..
