Irish Song Lyrics 
from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
Red headed Bee Stef Sigfalk 
One fine bright morning as I went a-fishing I followed the cattle track down to the sea Along the green ridges and through the black gully And there lay my little boat waiting for me Down from the bay I could smell the salt waters The morning sun spread its first rays on the sea I caught a glimpse of a red headed girl On the shore near my boat sat Belinda Mc'Gee 
I hurried down as fast as my feet could take me For something was wrong, that I clearly could see Bewildered and breathless I stood there before her Tears covered the face of Belinda Mc'Gee Kneeling beside her and anxious to know I could hear distant cries from the seagulls above Then she looked up and her lips started mowing She wispered that I was her only true love 
Since I was young and could walk the black gully My trustiest friend was Belinda Mc'Gee She showed me the creatures and plants of the moores But the beauty of love she discovered with me Countless the days where the wild mountain Thyme And the heather around us our sweet love did see But now she said that her father was leaving And with him was taking my red headed Bee 
Many a kinfolk from our green island Have hoped for a better life over the sea Away to America our neighbours did wander The land that has taken Belinda from me Oceans are wide and my boat is too brittle I cannot cross over my darling to see Here I must stay till I rest in the graveyard Forever without my sweet red headed Bee
