Lyrics:

Ye ladies and ye gentlemen, I pray you lend an ear
While I locate the residence of a lovely charmer fair
The curling of her yellow locks first stole my heart away
And her place of habitation is down in Logy Bay

It was on a summer's evening this little place I found
I met her agèd father, who did me sore confound
Saying, 'If you address my daughter, I'll send her far away
And she never will return again while you're in Logy Bay'

'Twas on the very next, he went down to St John's town
And engaged for her a passage in a vessel outward bound
He robbed me of my heart's delight and sent her far away
And he left me here downhearted for the star of Logy Bay

Oh, now I'll go a-roaming, I can no longer stay
I'll search the wide world over in every country
I'll search in vain thro' France and Spain, likewise America
Till I will sight my heart's delight, the star of Logy Bay

Now to conclude and finish, the truth to you I'll tell
Between Torbay and Outer Cove, 'tis where my love did well
The finest girl e'er graced our Isle, so every one did say
May heaven above send down its love on the star of Logy Bay
