Ballinderry Onions

Ballinderry Onions

By Paul McCann

Ballinderry onions with nettle tops and stew .

Ballinderry onions they’ll fix up what’s wrong with you .

Cut them up they’re great and put them on a plate ,

leave them by your bed

and they’ll soon clear up your head .

Ballinderry onions , a penny for a pound.

Ballinderry onions they’re nice to have around ,

put them on your bread or cook them up instead ,

you can eat them any day ,

for breakfast lunch or tay ,

From the garden of Eden where the oak trees grow

to the land of eternal youth we go .

listen to the music by the Lagans easy flow ,

you can tell that smell as the north winds starts to blow.

Ballinderry onions are coming out your ears.’

Ballinderry onions, blinding you with tears.

you can never get enough ,

they got that magic stuff ,

they’ll keep the germs at bay

and the doctor won’t come your way.

Ballinderry onions, the market men all say.

Ballinderry  onions ,they’re  all half price today.

Grab a bag come on  , because times moving on .

You know what to do ,

take a few bags home with you.’

From the garden of Eden where the oak trees grow

to the land of eternal youth we go .

listen to the music by the Lagans easy flow ,

you can tell that smell as the north winds starts to blow   .
