I'll sing to you a song,
'Tis about a lady fair
I met the other evening
In the corner of the square.
She had a dark and roving eye,
She was a charming rover,
We rode all night
In the pale moonlight
Away down to Lamorna
Refrain:
'Twas down in Albert Square,
I never shall forget,
Her eyes they shone like diamonds
And the evening it was wet, wet, wet.
Her hair hung down in curls,
She was a charming rover,
We rode all night
In the pale moonlight
Away down to Lamorna
As we got in the cab
I asked her for her name,
And when she gave it me,
Well, mine it was the same.
So I lifted up her veil,
For her face was covered over;
To my surprise it was my wife
I took down to Lamorna
She said, "I know you now,
I knew you all along,
I knew you in the dark
But I did it for a lark .
And for that lark you'll pay,
For the taking of your donor,
You'll pay the fare, for riding there,
Away down to Lamorna"
