Kate Rusby - The Daughter Of Megan lyrics

The daughter of Megan, so lovely and blooming I met in Glenavon's gay, glittering hall And high rose my heart, ambition a**uming To dance with the damsel, the bloom of the ball Oh, daughter of Megan, look not so alluring On a youth that his hope with thy hand must resign That now the sad pang of despair is enduring For the splender thou lov'st can never be mine Go, daughter of Megan, to castles of splender Each eye that beholds thee, thy presence shall bless And the delicate mind feel a pa**ion more tender On thy beauties to gaze than another's possess But daughter of Megan, tomorrow I'm going On ocean to sail, where the rude billows roar I feel my heart with affliction o'erflowing For perhaps I may gaze on your beauties no more The daughter of Megan, so lovely and blooming I met in Glenavon's gay, glittering hall And high rose my heart, ambition a**uming To dance with the damsel, the bloom of the ball
