No more the country will roam
But the place he is most missed
Is his own dear native home.

“Meeting is a pleasure between my Love and I...”
Meeting is a pleasure between my love and I
Down in younder valley
I will meet you bye and bye
Down in yonder valley

I knew her mind was altered
By the looing of her eye,

Placed it in my love's hand
Saying drink a health dear Molly to your dear native land
Drink the top dear Molly
