One pleasant summer's morning when all the flowers were springing

Nature was adorning and the wee birds sweetly singing

I met my love near Banbridge Town my charming blue-eyed Sally

She's the queen of the County Down the flower of Magherally

With admiration I did gaze upon this blue-eyed maiden

Adam wasn't half so much pleased when he met Eve in Eden

Her skin was like the lily white that grows in yonder valley

She's my queen and my heart's delight the flower of Magherally

Her yellow hair in ringlets clung her shoes were Spanish leather

Her bonnet with blue ribbons strung her scarlet cap and feather

Like Venus bright she did appear my charming blue-eyed Sally

She's the girl that I love dear the flower of Magherally

I hope the day will surely come when we'll join hands together

'Tis then I'll bring my darling home in spite of wind or weather

And let them all say what they will and let them reel and rally

For I shall wed the girl I love the flower of Maherally
