One morning as I went
A foul and bright Phoebus adorned the plains
It was down by the shade of Loch Erin
I met with this wonderful maid
Her voice was so sweet and so pleasing
These beautiful notes she did sing
And the innocent fowl of the forest
The lovin' to her they did bring
ย
Well it being 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 resembled gold tresses
Her skin was as white as the snow
And her lips were as red as red roses
That bloom around Loch Erin's shore
ย
When I found that my love was eloping
These words unto her I did sing
Oh take me back to your habitations
For Cupid has led me astray
Forever I'll keep your commandments
They say it is the best plan
Fair maids who do yield to a man's pleasure
The scripture does say they are all
Oh Mary, don't accuse me of weakness
Treachery I do disown
I could make you a lady of splendor
If with me this night you come home
Oh had I the lamp of great Aladdin
His rings, his genie, what's more?
I would part with them all for to win you
And live around the Loch Erin shore
I could part with them all for to win you
And live around Loch Erin shore
ย
I would part with them all for to win you
And live around Loch Erin shore
