The Streams of BunclodyOh were I at the moss house where the birds do increase At the foot of Mount Leinster or some silent place By the streams of Bunclody where all pleasures meet And all I would ask is one kiss from you sweet The streams of Bunclody they flow down so free By the streams of Bunclody I'm longing to be A-drinking strong liquor in the height of my cheer Here's a health to Bunclody and the lass I love dear Oh 'tis why my love slights me as you might understand For she has a freehold and I have no land She has great stores of riches and a fine sum of gold And everything fitting a house to uphold Key Change to D (Intro 4 bars - Instrumental Verse) If I were a clerk and could write a good hand I would write my love a letter that she would understand For I am a young fellow that is wounded in love Once I lived in Bunclody but now must remove So fare thee well father and mother,adieu My sisters and brothers farewell unto you I am bound for America my fortune to try When I think of Bunclody I'm ready to die Repeat Last Line |
