Brockagh Braes
One night as I lay slumbering in my silent bed
alone Some reckless thoughts came to my mind which
caused me for to roam To leave my native country
and the wee girl I do adore So I thought it fit to
take a trip, strange lands for to explore
Now the night before I went away I was walking
over Brockagh Hill When I met my darling on the
road and her eyes with tears did fill "Stay
you at home dear John" she said "and do
not go away For I'll have none to comfort me when
you are on the sea"
Well I took her by the lily white hand and I held
her hard and fast Saying "adieu to you my
darling for my ship it lies in Belfast But if you
prove loyal sure I'll prove true for you know that
I'm well inclined" So we kissed goodbye and
parted and I left my girl behind
And when we landed in Greenock sure the people all
gathered around And they said I was a rakish lad
come to put their harvest down They told me to
return again and never more be seen So without
delay I sailed away for Ireland's lovely green
Sure when Mary heard that John was home her heart
did beat with joy Saying "come into my
arms" she cried "you're my darling
lovely boy" Saying "come into my
arms" she cried "of you I have thought
great and long And let them all say as they will,
our wedding will now go on
And let them all say as they as they will
alone Some reckless thoughts came to my mind which
caused me for to roam To leave my native country
and the wee girl I do adore So I thought it fit to
take a trip, strange lands for to explore
Now the night before I went away I was walking
over Brockagh Hill When I met my darling on the
road and her eyes with tears did fill "Stay
you at home dear John" she said "and do

our wedding will now go on
And let them all say as they as they will
