Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD EEFFGHDD IIJKLLDD| Oh Mary this London's a wonderful sight | A |
| With people here workin' by day and by night | A |
| They don't sow potatoes nor barley nor wheat | B |
| But there's gangs of them diggin' for gold in the street | B |
| At least when I asked them that's what I was told | C |
| So I just took a hand at this diggin' for gold | C |
| But for all that I found there I might as well be | D |
| Where the Mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea | D |

| As to how the fine ladies in London were dressed | E |
| Well if you'll believe me when asked to a ball | F |
| They don't wear no top to their dresses at all | F |
| Oh I've seen them meself and you could not in truth | G |
| Say that if they were bound for a ball or a bath | H |

| There's beautiful girls here oh never you mind | I |
| With beautiful shapes nature never designed | I |
| And lovely complexions all roses and cream | J |
| But let me remark with regard to the same | K |
| That if that those roses you venture to sip | L |
| The colors might all come away on your lip | L |
| So I'll wait for the wild rose that's waitin' for me | D |
| In the place where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the sea | D |
