Ballinderry Lyrics
Ballinderry - The Clancy Brothers
'Tis pretty to be in ballinderry
Pretty to be in aughalee
'Tis prettier to be on bonny ram's island
A-sittin' forever beneath a tree
O chone o chone
O chone o chone
For often I sailed to bonny ram's island
Arm in arm with phelim my demon
And he would whistle and I would sing
And we would make the whole island ring
O chone o chone
O chone o chone
I'm goin' he said from bonny ram's island
Out and across the deep blue sea
And if in your heart you love me mary
Open your arms at last to me
O chone o chone
O chone o chone
'Twas pretty to be in ballinderry
Now it's sad as sad can be
For the ship that sailed with phelim my demon
Is sunk forever beneath the sea
O chone o chone
O chone o chone
