The Staves - Courting Is A Pleasure lyrics

Courting is a pleasure Between my love and I It was down in Yon green valley I’ll meet her by and by It was down in Yon green valley She is my heart’s delight “Molly, lovely Molly, I will stay till broad daylight” Never marry a fair young maid With a dark and a roving eye Just you kiss her And you embrace her Never tell her the reasons why Just you kiss her And you embrace her Till you cause her heart to yield For a fainthearted soldier Will never gain the field Farewell, Ballymonie Likewise the sweet Bann shore Farewell to McCusky braes Will I never see more America lies far away The land I will go see And may all bad luck Attend the one Who parted my love and me Just you kiss her And you embrace her Never tell her the reasons why Courting is a pleasure Between my love and I
