- The sason maids look witching fair.
In costly robes so fine
With flowing locks of flaxen hair
And lips like ruby wine
But there's a lass in Erin's Isle
More beautiful to see
Of modest mien and simple style
That's Maureen Oge Machree.She sings the grand old Irish songs.
Pride of a by gone age
And sighs o'er Erin's cruel wrongs
That darken history's page
She grieves for Tara's Harp
And wishes it was free
She loves and speaks the Gaelic tongue
Does Maureen Oge Machree.
