One pleasant Summer’s morning when all the flowers were springing ,

Nature was adorning and the wee birds sweetly singing .

I met my love near Banbridge town, my charming blue-eyed Sally ,

She's the queen of the County Down - the flower of Magherally .

With admiration I did gaze upon this blue-eyed maiden,

Adam wasn’t half so much pleased, when he met Eve in Eden .

Her skin was like the lily white, that grows in yonder valley ,

She's my queen and my heart's delight - the flower of Magherally .

Her yellow hair in ringlets clung, her shoes were Spanish leather ,

Her bonnet with blue ribbons strung her scarlet cap and feather .

Like Venus bright she did appear - my charming blue-eyed Sally ,

She's the girl that I adore - the flower of Magherally .

I hope the day will surely come, when we’ll join hands together ,

It's then I'll bring my darling home, in spite of wind or weather .

And let them all say what they will, and let them reel and rally ,

For I shall wed the girl I love, the flower of Magherally .
