Ryan's Fancy - The Star of Logy Bay lyrics

Ye ladies and ye gentlemen, I pray you lend an ear While I locate the residence of a lovely charmer fair The curling of her yellow locks first stole my heart away And her place of habitation is down in Logy Bay It was on a summer's evening this little place I found I met her agèd father, who did me sore confound Saying, "If you address my daughter, I'll send her far away And she never will return again while you're in Logy Bay" 'Twas on the very next, he went down to St John's town And engaged for her a pa**age in a vessel outward bound He robbed me of my heart's delight and sent her far away And he left me here downhearted for the star of Logy Bay Oh, now I'll go a-roaming, I can no longer stay I'll search the wide world over in every country I'll search in vain thro' France and Spain, likewise America Till I will sight my heart's delight, the star of Logy Bay Now to conclude and finish, the truth to you I'll tell Between Torbay and Outer Cove, 'tis where my love did well The finest girl e'er graced our Isle, so every one did say May heaven above send down its love on the star of Logy Bay
