IN OLD BALLYMOE. Irish, Waltz (3/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. A comic song air, employed as a waltz.
In the County Roscommon in hail storms and rain
As I was crossing the field on me way to the train
I met a fair coleen, says she, did you know
The shortest shortcut into old Ballymoe.
