LAMORNA

So now I'll sing to you,
'Tis about a maiden fair
I met the other evening
In the corner of the square.
She had a dark and roving eye,
She was a charming rover,
And we rode all night
In the pale moonlight
Away down to Lamorna


Chorus:
'Twas down in Albert Square,
I never shall forget,
Her eyes they shone like diamonds
And the evening it was wet, wet, wet.
Her hair hung down in curls,
She was a charming rover,
And we rode all night
In the pale moonlight
Away down to Lamorna


As we got in the cab
I asked her for her name,
And when she gave it me,
Well, mine it was the same.
So I lifted up her veil,
For her face was covered over;
To my surprise it was my wife
I'd rode down to Lamorna


Chorus:
  'Twas down in Albert Square, etc.


She said, "I knowed 'ee well,
I knowed 'ee all the while,
I knowed you in the dark
And I did it for a lark (lark, lark).
And for that lark you'll pay,
For the roving of yer donor,
You'll pay the fare, I do declare,
Away down to Lamorna"


Chorus:
   'Twas down in Albert Square, etc.
