PORTAFERRY

As I was going to Portaferry

Happy as Larry dee dandelion jam
I met a maiden but she didn’t care, Dun-drum dee...

She had brown eyes and beautiful hair

As she drove on to Portaferry

Dun-drum Dun-drum dee dandelion jam
Dun-drum Dun-drum dee dandelion jam

On the hill is Scrabo Tower says she
Happy as Larry dee dandelion jam

Up up the apples and pears she sang, Dun-drum dee...

She looked so sweet and ever so rare
As she drove on to Portaferry

Dun-drum Dun-drum dee dandelion jam
Dun-drum Dun-drum dee dandelion jam

We took the Tom and Jerry to Strangford

Happy as Larry dee dandelion jam

For to watch The Grand National there, Dun-drum dee...

My horse Vicente fell at the first fence

Her thoroughbred looked as lively as Ned

Dun-drum Dun-drum dee dandelion jam
Dun-drum Dun-drum dee dandelion jam

It must have been something that I said

Happy as Larry dee dandelion jam

I should cut my tongue right out of my head, Dun-drum dee...

Such a sweet maiden but she didn’t care
We took the boat back to Portaferry

Dun-drum Dun-drum dee dandelion jam
Dun-drum Dun-drum dee dandelion jam

The Lough was choppy and cold as we crossed

Happy as Larry dee dandelion jam

Castles and Abbeys, ruins everywhere, Dun-drum dee...
So much to see and so much to share
When we drove down to Portaferry

Dun-drum Dun-drum dee dandelion jam
Dun-drum Dun-drum dee dandelion jam
