Nora - The Dubliners

Oh the violets were scenting the woods, Nora

Displaying their charm to the bee

When I first said I loved only you, Nora

And you said you loved only me The chestnut blooms gleamed through the glade, Nora

A robin sang loud from a tree

When I first said I loved only you, Nora

And you said you loved only me The golden-robed daffodils shone, Nora

And danced in the breeze on the lea

When I first said I loved only you, Nora

And you said you loved only me The trees, birds and bees sang a song, Nora

Of happier transports to be When I first said I loved only you, Nora

And you said you loved only me Our dreams they have never come true, Nora

Our hopes they were never to be Since I first said I loved only you, Nora

And you said you loved only me Since I first said I loved only you, Nora

And you said you loved only me
