Ellen Browne

As I walked out one morning one day for to have some fun 'Twas out through Dublin city I carelessly did roam I met with all me comrade boys on the outskirts of the town Oh and who should chance to walk my way but the lovely Ellen Brown Says I, "I'm going down to Donnybrook" Well then so am I says she At yonder bar there's a jaunting car And it's on it we'll go down Well no man could have been happier As by her I sat down Oh boys I'd no objection To this lovely Ellen Brown Well when we reached Donnybrook Well we went into the tent And it's there we spent the evening Enjoying the merriment No man could have been happier As by her I sat down I was admiring all the beauties Of lovely Ellen Brown Well when the dance was over For a bed we did repair And what did happen after to yous I'll now declare She took from me my watch and chain And likewise me fifty pounds And she left me jack bare naked there A-lying on the ground So come all you handsome young men Wherever that you may be Don't go courting them dark haired girls Or with any of them agree For they'll finger all your money boys And lay bare your account And they leave you to curse Donnybrook Like me with Ellen Brown
