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 plazed, 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 .
