A New Broom Sweeps
Clean
"The Foot
of Newry Mountain is the name of it"
At the foot of Newry
mountain there runs a clear stream.
At the foot of Newry
Mountain there dwells a pretty dame.
She's proper, neat
and handsome for young men to see
and the title she
goes by is Grogyel Mcree.
If I were a scholar
I'd whistle and sing
and write my love
a letter and send it to him.
I'd mention my sorrow
my sad grief and woe
and I'd follow my
darling where e'er she would go.
Young men are deceitful
and false in there mind.
If you get one to
prove through you'll get into proving kind.
They will kiss you
and coax you young men are some ear.
For it's an old saying
and it's a true saying
a new broom sweeps
clean.
"That's the name
of that song A New Broom Sweeps Clean"
