The Road To Ballybay

"Is this the road to Ballybay?"
Sez I to Miss Magee;
"You're leavin' it behind you,"
Sez Maryanne to me.
So I turned and walked beside her,
And 'tis only fair to say
It was very pleasant walkin'
On the road to Ballybay.

Ballybay, Ballybay,
'Twas a dark and winthry day,
But the sun was surely shinin'
On the road to Ballybay.

"Is this the road to fame and wealth?"
Sez I to Miss Magee;
"Ye've got the brains, ye've got the health," .
Sez Maryanne to me.
"But still I want a comrade
To praise me an' to blame,
An' keep me from the traps that's laid
Upon the road to fame."

Ballybay, Ballybay,
No man could go asthray
With a guide like her beside him
On the road to Ballybay.

"Is this the road to paradise?"
Sez I to Miss Magee;
"I'm thinking that it might be,"
Sez Maryanne to me;
Oh I saw the love light leppin'
In a pair of roguish eyes
And I knew we two were steppin'
On the road to paradise.

Ballybay, Ballybay, 
The birds are far away
But our hearts they sang together
On the road to Ballybay.
