Dublin City Ramblers - Away Sandy lyrics

As I strolled down O'Connell Street The day being warm and grand I met a maid she asked me trade I am a singer in a band And away Sandy my dear Annie Oh ye country girls can you dance the polka? I took her to McDonald's Sure I didn't mind expense I bought her chips and coffee It only cost me 70 pence And away Sandy my dear Annie Oh ye country girls can you dance the polka? I asked her out to Sandycove We travelled out by DART Please say you'll go; if you say no You'll surely break me heart And away Sandy my dear Annie Oh ye country girls can you dance the polka? When we arrived at Sandycove We strolled along the strand She told me of her folks back home As we walked hand in hand And away Sandy my dear Annie Oh ye country girls can you dance the polka? I asked her occupation When questioned she seemed afraid She looked at me "Me ramblin' man I am a Chamber maid" And away Sandy my dear Annie Oh ye country girls can you dance the polka? With me hand upon her shoulder And the other one on her knee Me boys me thinks with a few more drinks With me she will agree And away Sandy my dear Annie Oh ye country girls can you dance the polka? When we arrived at Rathmines Road We came to her front door She said "farewell me ramblin boy You'll never see me no more" And away Sandy my dear Annie Oh ye country girls can you dance the polka? I caught the bus to Dublin Saying fair dues to you my dear No more I'll chase the country girls I'll stick to Lager beer And away Sandy my dear Annie Oh ye country girls can you dance the polka?
