- (continued from previous page)I cannot see my Mary dear
Among the lassies fair
But now she is far away
With me she would not stay
And left me here quite lonely
On the greens at Pollan Bay
4th verse.
Oh its Mary dear its I do fear
That you will rue the day,
That ever you left your lover
behind at Pollan Bay.
But now when with your uankie
lad and going along the way
you wont think of my broken heart
you left at Pollan Bay.
5th verse
Oh my woe be to America
that took you far away.
And left me here lamenting
along Sweet Pollan Bay.
But I know that Mary is true
to me and that for her ill say
And hopes us both will meet again
On the Greens at Pollan Bay.
6th verse
O sure I will write to Mary
and this for her ill say(continues on next page)
