Lyrics:

sweet Norse accent
Is my favorite sound
I love ‘em all Norway women

I'm a pretty fair judge of the opposite sex
But I ain't seen nothing that will touch
(Oh, hooo)
(Truly, truly fair)
(Truly, truly fair)
(Truly, truly, truly fair)
(There's songs to sing her)
(Trinkets to bring her)
(Flowers for
(Oh, ho)

(Truly, truly fair, truly, truly fair)
(How I love my truly fair)
(There's songs to sing her, trinkets to bring her)
(Flowers for her
a-rovin' with you fair maid.

Chorus:
A-rovin', a-rovin, since fuckin's been my ruin,
I'll go no more a-rovin' with you fair maid.

I put my hand upon her
(Oh, ho)

(Truly, truly fair, truly, truly fair)
(How I love my truly fair)
(There's songs to sing her, trinkets to bring her)
(Flowers for her
Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
And from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the fair Colleen
That I met in the County Down

As she onward sped
pretty young fair maid, could you and I agree,
To join our hands in wedlock bands, and married we will be;
We'll join our hands in wedlock bands,
came a palmer man.

Oh, God speed you, Old Man, she cries,
God speed you, you pretty fair maid,
God speed you, you pretty fair maid,
As the sun
Bantry Bay up to Derry's Quay
From Galway to Dublin Town
No maid I've seen like the fair colleen
That I met in the County Down.

As she onward sped, sure I
Bantry Bay up to Derry's Quay
From Galway to Dublin Town
No maid I've seen like the fair colleen
That I met in the County Down.

As she onward sped, sure I
gan, fair maids
To the weaver's gin ye gan
I rede you right, gan ne'er at night
To the weaver's gin ye gan
My mither sent me to the town
To warp
From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay
From Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the fair cailín
That I met in the County Down.

As she onward
Pretty fair maid was in her garden
When a stranger came a-riding by
He came up to the gate and called her
Said pretty fair maid would you be my bride
Bantry Bay up to Derry's Quay
From Galway to Dublin Town
No maid I've seen like the fair colleen
That I met in the County Down.

As she onward sped, sure I
As I went a walking one morning in May
I met a young couple so far did we stray
And one was a young maid so sweet and so fair
And the other was
Bay into Derry Quay
From Galway to Dublin Town
No maid I’ve seen like the fair colleen
That I met in the County Down

As she onward sped, sure I
A wager with you my pretty fair maid
Five hundred pounds to your ten
a maid you will go to the merry green broom
a maid you'll no longer return o
My Truly, Truly Fair

How many fair and tender maids 
Could love as she could then? 

For was was likened to Pretty Boy Floyd 
And also John Riley 
And a rake
There sits a maid on Norway's strand 
Hush bye-lou-lay," this maid began
Saying, "Little ken I my bairn's father
Far less the land that he dwells in"
for the maid of the sweet brown knowe"

This fair and fickle young thing, she knew not what to say
Her eyes did shine like diamonds bright
Brushing her hair in the broad daylight

First she brushed it, then she tossed it
On her lap was a silver comb
In all me life I ne'er did see
A maid so fair
Or shall I wed fair Annie?
 
The nut-brown maid she has cows and ewes,
Fair Annie she has nane,
And for my blessin's, my son Thomas,
I pray ye let her alane,
As I walked out over London bridge
One misty morning early
I overheard a fair pretty maid
Was lamenting for her Geordie

"Ah, my Geordie will be
