Nory Ryan's Song by Patricia Reilly Giff

The Ballad of Nory Ryan

words by Suzy Red, to the tune of "Danny Boy"

Chapter 1, Verse 1:
Oh, long ago when dear old
Ireland Blossomed green,
There lived a lass
Beside the Maidin Bay.
Though life was hard
Miss Nory Ryan
Sang the songs
Of ancient ways
And God's
Sweet pleasant days.

Chorus:
Oh, Nory Ryan,
With heart of love
And friendship true,
Hold strong and kind
In storms ahead of you!
Your roots grow deep
Your wings
Will help you rise above
The trials of life
That test your
Courage, faith, and love.
