  1. Rosbeigh's Lovely Scene

    Share Share Post
    1.
    You ladies and gentlemen come listen to me.
    I'll sing you a few verses that will keep you in glee
    Concerning our visit to Rosbeigh by the sea.
    2.
    As we were walking along the Ross road.
    The soldiers preparing their canons to load
    Their exploding shells on the sand-banks did fall
    And their shrill sounding whistle astonished us all.
    3.
    Glenbeigh's lovely station we had for a stop.
    To perform our journey safe oer the wide-dock
    When a bugle it sounds oer the deep rolling tide
    By an English soldier on the high mountain side.
    4.
    Our engine is puffing leaving the wide-dock.
    To take those fair ladies and gentleman back.
    We espied Wynne's castle as it stood in our view
    So now lovely Rosbeigh I must bid you adieu.
