Annotation:In Old Ballymoe

IN OLD BALLYMOE. Irish, Waltz. 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.
