'Tis pretty to be in Ballinderry

pretty to be in Aughalee
'Tis prettier to be on bonny Ram's Island
A-sittin' forever beneath a tree

O chone... O chone...
O chone... O chone...

For often I sailed to bonny Ram's Island

Arm in arm with Phelim my demon
And he would whistle and I would sing
And we would make the whole island ring

O chone... O chone...

O chone... O chone...

"I'm goin'," he said "from bonny Ram's Island
Out and across the deep blue sea
And if in your heart you love me Mary
Open your arms at last to me"

O chone... O chone...
O chone... O chone...

'Twas pretty to be in Ballinderry

Now it's sad as sad can be
For the ship that sailed with Phelim my demon
Is lost forever beneath the sea

O chone... O chone...
O chone... O chone...
O chone... O chone...
O chone... O chone...
