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

Fair maids who do yield to men's pleasures
The scriptures do say they are wrong"
"Oh, Mary don't accuse me of weakness
For treachery I do disown

"Oh, had I the lamp of great Aladdin
His rings and his genie that's more
I would part with them all for to win you
And live around Lough Erne's shore"
