One pleasant summer's morning
When all the flowers were springing-o
Nature was adorning
And the small birds sweetly singing-o
I met my love by Banbridge Town
My darling blue eyed Sally-o
She's the star of the County Down
The flower of Magherally-o
And with admiration I did gaze
Upon this blue eyed maiden-o
Adam wasn't half so pleased
When he met Eve in Eden-o
Her skin was like the lily white
That grows in yonder valley-o
She's my queen and my heart's delight
The flower of Magherally-o
Her dark red hair in ringlets clung
Her boots were Spanish leather-o
Ribbons from her bonnet hung
Her scarlet cap and feather-o
Like Venus bright she did appear
My darling blue eyed Sally-o
She's the girl that I love dear
The flower of Magherally-o
And I hope the day will surely come
We'll join hands together-o
And I will bring my darling home
In spite of wind or weather-o
And let them all say what they will
And let them reel and rally-o
For I will wed the girl I love
The flower of Magherally-o
