A Local Song
“Young men and maidens I pray lend an ear,”
1.
Young men and maidens, I pray lend an ear,
Too hear the sad fate of two lovers so dear,
Charming young Betsy of Ballintownbray,
The Lord of the moorland that led her astray.
2.
One night as this young man lay down for to sleep,
Young Betsy came to him and oer him did weep,
Saying you are the young man that caused me to roam,
Far from my friends and my own native home.
3.
He called fast his servants to saddle his steed
Our hills and high mountains he rode with great speed
Until he arrived at the noontime of day
At the cot of young Beetsy of Ballintownbray
4.
Betsys own father stood at his own gate
Like a man quite forlorn bewailing his fate
This young lord advanced to afford him relief,
He begged that he'd tell him the cause of his grief5.
I had but one daughter the old man did say
And now she lies low in sweet Ballintownbray
Her hair was as fair as the lily or swan
A bongie a lass as the sun o'er shone on6
Her heart is was broken, she died in despair
She sometimes went frantic and tearing her hair
'Twas all by the cause of a young man who led her astray
And left her far far from sweet Ballintownbray7
I am the young traitor, this young lord replied,(leanann ar an chéad leathanach eile)- Bailitheoir
