Text marked as lyrics
As I was awalking down Newry one day, I met Captain Galligan by chance on my way. "Will you take the bounty and come along with me To the sweet town of Newry happy hours for to see?" It's of a brisk young country lady, And up to London she did go; She fell in love with a jolly sailor, With tarry trousers as white as snow. The trees they do grow high and the leaves they do grow green, and many a cold winter's night my love and I have seen. Of a cold winter's night, my love, you and I allone have been whilst my bonny boy is young, he's agrowing, Growing, growing, whilst my bonny lad is young, he's agrowing. now I've never a one, so fare you well, my own true love for ever, ever more. Growing, growing, so fare you well, my own true love for ever, ever more.
