Lyrics

Courting Is A Pleasure

Courting is a pleasure Between my love and I And it's down in yon green valley I'll meet her by and by It was down in yon green valley She is my heart's delight "Molly, lovely Molly I will stay 'til broad daylight." Never marry a fair young maid With a dark and a roving eye Just you kiss her and you embrace her Never tell her the reason why Just you kiss her and you embrace her Till you cause her heart to yield; For a faint-hearted soldier Will never gain the field Farewell, Ballymonie Likewise the sweet Bann shore Farewell unto McCusky braes Will I never see more America lies far away That land I will go see; And may all bad luck attend the one Who parted my love and me Just you kiss her and you embrace her Never tell her the reason why Courting is a pleasure Between my love and I
