All around the green valleys of Bonny Wood Green
Where me and me true love, we oftimes were seen
Ah the years they rolled by and how happy were we
For 'tis little she knew that a soldier I'd be

It was early one morning when the lambs they did play.
From Derg to O’Connor I then made my way
To enlist as a soldier and to fight for the king.
To uphold the good cause I left Bonny Wood Green.

Oh Bonny Wood Green, Bonny Wood Green,
To uphold the good cause I left Bonny Wood Green

And soon I was ordered away o’er the foam,
For soldiers were needed to fight for their home.
I kissed her and told her, “Oh, Nell, you’re my queen.”
And softly she whispered, “Remember Wood Green.

"Remember Wood Green, Bonny Wood Green.”
And softly she whispered, “Remember Wood Green.”

It was way out in Flanders at the back of the line.
They were talking of sweethearts that they’d left behind.
Said one Irish soldier, “Well, I’ve got a queen,
And she works at John Rosses in Bonny Wood Green."

"In Bonny Wood Green, Bonny Wood Green,
And she works at John Rosses in Bonny Wood Green.”

It was early next morning and the sun was still low,
And the bullets were flying and he was laid low.
He turned to his mates in a terrible scene,
Sayin’, “Kiss my love, Nell, and remember Wood Green."

"Remember Wood Green, Bonny Wood Green.”
Sayin’, “Kiss my love, Nell, and remember Wood Green.”

So if ever to Ireland you happen to stray,
And you go to John Rosses at the end of the day
There’s a quiet old woman who can ofttimes be seen,
For she wears a white apron from Bonny Wood Green.

From Bonny Wood Green, Bonny Wood Green,
For she wears a white apron from Bonny Wood Green.
