The Boy From Ballymore

'Round, 'round and 'round we go
Up and Down, toe to toe
The girls are dancing to and fro
With the boy from Ballymore

'Round, 'round and 'round we go
Pretty maidens in a row
We'll be dancing all night long
With the boy from Ballymore

Who's the girl with the long, brown hair
She wants the man, she don't play fair
She's the devil, he don't care
That boy from Ballymore and

Who's that standing by his side?
Dublin's finest, who our child is
Steal her heart and drive you wild
That boy from Ballymore

'Round, 'round and 'round we go
Up and Down, toe to toe
The girls are dancing to and fro
With the boy from Ballymore

Pretty maidens in a row

La, la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la-la-la

Now soldiers say, "Look far and wide
Hide your daughters and your wife
He's the one with the rovin' eye
That boy from Ballymore

And tell the girls from across the 'gar
To kiss them all in County Claire
And broke the hearts of the chilly fair
On the way to Ballymore

'Round, 'round and 'round we go
Up and Down, toe to toe
The girls are dancing to and fro
With the boy from Ballymore

'Round, 'round and 'round we go
Pretty maidens in a row
We'll be dancing all night long

La, la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la-la-la

You know good pitches, son, you're tall
You're handsome and you know it all
I'll take you with, your warts and all
You boy from Ballymore

So drink your whiskey drink your wine
Swing the girls from side to side
When you've come home, I'll be your bride
My boy from Ballymore

'Round, 'round and 'round we go
Up and Down, toe to toe
The girls are dancing to and fro
With the boy from Ballymore
