�� But islands of Derry are dismal today �� Since my lovely Jimmy is gone far away �� He's gone to old England, strange ladies to see �� May the good Lord protect him, send him safe home to me ��� Oh Timmy, lovely Jimmy, I remember the day �� When you rapped on my window, now you've gone far away �� Through highlands and lowlands, together we roamed �� Now tell me the reason you've left me alone ��� The second time you courted me it was in yonder green grove �� The pinks and the daisies grew around where we stood �� With your strong arm around me to keep me from harm �� There you beguiled this young heart of mine ��� Oh Lord, if I courted you it was without my breath �� I never intended to make you my best �� I never intended to make you my wife �� Nor ne'er will I do so all the days of my life ��� With false heart and young man I have one word to say �� Perhaps you and I will be judged the same day �� The day is approaching when rewarded you will be �� For the lies and false promises you made unto me ��
