[Verse 1]
The daughter of Megan, so lovely and blooming
I met in Glenavon's gay glittering hall
And high rose my heart, ambition assuming
To dance with the damsel, the bloom of the ball

[Verse 2]
Oh, daughter of Megan, look not so alluring
On a youth that his hope with thy hand must resign
That now the sad pang of despair is enduring
The splendour thou lov'st can never be mine

[Verse 3]
Go daughter of Megan to castles of splendour
Each eye that beholds thee thy presence shall bless
The delicate mind feel a passion more tender
On thy beauties to gaze than another's possess

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
But daughter of Megan, tomorrow I'm going
On oceans to sail where the rude billows roar
I feel my full heart with affliction o'erflowing
Perhaps I may gaze on thy beauties no more
[Verse 1]
Oh, the daughter of Megan, so lovely and blooming
I met in Glenavon's gay glittering hall
And high rose my heart, ambition assuming
To dance with the damsel, the bloom of the ball

[Outro]
To dance with the damsel, the bloom of the ball
