[00:00.47]Oh, Mary, this London's a wonderful sight
[00:06.70]With people here working by day and by night
[00:12.92]They don't sow potatoes nor barley nor wheat
[00:18.82]But there's gangs of them diggin' for gold in the street
[00:25.51]At least when I asked them, that's what I was told
[00:31.32]So I just took a hand at this diggin' for gold
[00:37.81]But for all that I've found there, I might as well be
[00:43.76]In the place where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the sea
[01:04.18]I believe that when writin' a wish you expressed
[01:10.19]As to how the fine ladies of London were dressed
[01:17.20]But if you'll believe me, when asked to a ball
[01:23.92]They don't wear no tops to their dresses at all
[01:30.31]Oh, I've seen them myself and you could not in truth
[01:36.76]Tell if they were bound for a ball or a bath
[01:43.30]Don't be startin' them fashions now, Mary McRee,
[01:49.79]In the place where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the sea
[02:23.03]There's beautiful girls here, oh, never you mind
[02:29.35]Beautiful shapes Nature never designed
[02:36.04]Lovely complexions of roses and cream
[02:42.53]But let me remark with regard to the same
[02:49.38]That if at those roses you venture to sit
[02:55.58]The colors might all come away on your lip
[03:01.91]So I'll wait for the wild rose that's waitin' for me
[03:08.70]In the place where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the sea
[03:29.09]You remember young Danny McClaren, of course
[03:35.84]But he's over here with the rest of the force
[03:42.04]I saw him one day as he stood on the strand
[03:48.76]Stopped all the traffic with a wave of his hand
[03:55.55]As we were talking of days that are gone
[04:02.07]The whole town of London stood there to look on
[04:08.61]But for all his great powers, he's wishful like me
[04:15.15]To be back where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the sea
