Ballinderry

 A traditional Irish song, set for SA and piano/keyboard.

Lyrics:

'Twas pretty to be in Ballinderry, 'twas pretty o be in Aghalee,

But prettier fa in Little Ram's Island, trysting under the ivy tree.

For often I roved in Littleam's Island, side by side with Philomy Hyland,

and still he'd court me, and I'd be coy.

Tho' at heart I loved him, handsome boy.

'Twas happy to be in LIttle Ram's Island, now 'tis sad as sad can be,

for the ship that sailed with Philomy Hyland is sunk for ever beneath the sea!

Oh, that I wear the willoww, and wander alone, alone

And cry to hinder the cruel sea, "Ah! come back, come back to me!"
