INTRO: Am G F C Am G F (2x)

One pleasant summer’s morning
When all the flowers were springing-o
Nature was adorning
And the small birds sweetly singing-o
I met my love by Banbridge Town
My darling blue eyed Sally-o
She’s the star of the County Down
The flower of Magherally-o

And with admiration I did gaze
Upon this blue eyed maiden-o
Adam wasn’t half so pleased
When he met Eve in Eden-o
Her skin was like the lily white
That grows in yonder valley-o
She’s my queen and my heart’s delight
The flower of Magherally-o

Her dark red hair in ringlets clung
Her boots were Spanish leather-o
Ribbons from her bonnet hung
Her scarlet cap and feather-o
Like Venus bright she did appear
My darling blue eyed Sally-o
She’s the girl that I love dear
The flower of Magherally-o

And I hope the day will surely come
We’ll join hands together-o
And I will bring my darling home
In spite of wind or weather-o
And let them all say what they will
And let them reel and rally-o
For I will wed the girl I love
The flower of Magherally-o

Hush a moment, do not make a sound
Lots of action here, but nothing’s going down
Some guy on TV with his sharp Italian suit
Is telling lies to you and swearing they’re the truth
His lips are moving, but he’s not making sense
Takes all his effort to keep balanced on the fence___

CHORUS:
He’ll say nothing
Thanks for nothing
Him and his promises mean nothing
That’s what he’s selling you, Nothing

Give him an issue, he’ll find his way around it
By scrambling his syntax and hoping to confound it
Nothing’s what he ventured and nothing’s what we gain
You think that you’ve heard everything, then Nothing strikes again
Ask him a question, try to get some facts
He’ll just blow smoke at you and turn to the attack and sayyyy

CHORUS:
Captain
Thanks for nothing
Him and his promises mean nothing
That’s all he’s selling you, Nothing

Lately I’ve noticed lots of Nothing going ‘round
Press releases, advertising, reporters on the ground
All sound and fury, you know how the saying goes
Signifying nothing with the poser and his pose
Hey, take a look, there’s nothing up his sleeve and
Even less between his ears and still we all believe___

CHORUS:
He says nothing
Thanks for nothing
Him and his promises, nothing
That’s what he’s selling you, Nothing
Thanks for nothing
Him and his promises mean nothing
That’s what he’s selling you, Nothing
Oh, Nothing
