An Irish air
From: The Bunting Collection*, 1840
Lyrics:
1: 'Tis pretty to be in Ballinderry,
"Tis pretty to be in Aghalee
'Tis prettier to be in bonny Rams Island
Sitting under an ivy tree
Och-one! Och-one! Och-one! Och-one!
2: O that i was in little Rams Island,
O that I was with Phelimy Hyland,
He would whistle and I would sing,
Till we would make the whole Island ring.
Och-one! Och-one! Och-one! Och-one!
* Edward Bunting ((1773-1843) was an Irish musician and folk music collector.
