The Wee Weaver

I am a wee weaver confined to my loom.
My love she is as fair as the red rose in June.
She is loved by all young men and that does grieve me.
My heart’s in the bosom of lovely Mary.
As me and my Mary roved by yon shady bower,
Where me and my Mary spent many a happy hour.
Where the thrush and the blackbird do consort in chore,
The praises of Mary, round Lough Erne Shore.
As Mary and Willie roved by yon riverside,
Said Willie to Mary ‘Will you be my bride?’
This couple got married and they’ll roam no more.
They have pleasures and treasures round Lough Erne shore.
