In Mushera Today

From the overnight frost the high fields looking gray
You will not get a suntan in Mushera today
The air is so cold from the overnight freeze
And the weather temperature down below zero degrees

In January it is cold and wet in the high country above Millstreet
The weather forecast for the day storms, heavy rain and sleet
The swollen Aubane River in flood waters of brown
Bank high from the high country goes roaring down

Through the fields of Aubane to the Blackwater bound
Swollen by streams and drains from the higher ground
And many a cold, wet and windy night and day
Before the hawthorns will wear their white blooms of the May

The grass in the bare fields in January never grow
And the weather is quite cold enough for to snow
From the overnight frost the high fields looking gray
You will not get a suntan in Mushera today.
