W:One morning as I went a-fowling
W:Bright Phoebus adorned the plain.
W:It was down by the shores of Lough Erne
W:I met with this wonderful dame.
W:Her voice was so sweet and so pleasing
W:These beautiful notes she did sing.
W:The innocent fowl of the forest
W:Their love unto her they did bring.
W:
W:It being the first time I saw her
W:My heart it did lep with surprise.
W:I thought that she could be no mortal
W:But an angel that fell from the skies.
W:Her hair it resembled gold tresses.
W:Her skin was as white as the snow.
W:Her cheeks were as red as the roses
W:That bloom around Lough Erne's shore.
W:
W:When I found that my love was eloping
W:These words unto her I did say:
W:"Oh, take me to your habitation
W:For Cupid has led me astray."
W:"Forever I'll keep the commandments.
W:They say that it is the best plan.
W:Fair maids who do yield to men's pleasures
W:The scripture does say they are wrong."
W:
W:"Oh, Mary don't accuse me of weakness,
W:For treachery I do disown.
W:I will make you a lady of honour
W:If with me this night you'll come home.
W:Oh, had I the lamp of great Aladdin,
W:His rings and his genie what's more.
W:I would part with them all for to gain you
W:And live upon Lough Erne's shore."
