The Daughter Of Megan - Kate Rusby

The daughter of Megan, so lovely and blooming

I met in Glenavon’s gay glittering hall

And high rose my heart, ambition assuming

To dance with the damsel, the bloom of the ball

Oh daughter of Megan, look not so alluring

On a youth that his hope with thy hand must resign;

That now the sad pang of despair is enduring

The spendour thou lov’st can never be mine

Go daughter of Megan, to castles of splendour

Each eye that beholds thee thy presence shall bless

And the delicate mind feel a passion more tender

On thy beauties to gaze than another’s possess

But daughter of Megan, tomorrow I’m going

On oceans to sail where the rude billows roar;

I feel my full heart with affliction o’erflowing

Perhaps I may gaze on thy beauties no more

Oh the daughter of Megan, so lovely and blooming

I met in Glenavon’s gay glittering hall

And hight rose my heart, ambition assuming

To dance with the damsel, the bloom of the ball
