When winter was brawling, oer high hills and mountains And dark were the clouds oer the deep rolling sea I spied a wee lass as the daylight was dawning She was asking the road to sweet Carnlough Bay I said,My wee lassie, I canna weel teIl ye The number of miles or how far it might be But if youll consent Ill convoy you a wee bit And Ill show you the road to sweet Carnlough Bay You turn to the right and pass down by the churchyard Cross over the river and down by the sea Well call in Pat Hamills and have a wee drop there Just to help us along to sweet Carnlough Bay Heres a health to Pat Hamill likewise the wee lassie And to every laddie thats listening to me And neer turn your back on a bonnie wee lassie When shes asking the road to sweet Carnlough Bay
