about

Ella and I love sing-a-long songs, particularly songs you might hear in a pub or at a family get-together. So this tune is an attempt at writing one of those songs, inspired by walks we've taken in Ireland and Wales. This track was a lot of fun to record because our son Joey and his wife Heather joined in, singing on the last chorus. I don't know anyone named Maddie Sue Balleu, but if there's a girl with that name out there, I hope she has someone who will sing this song to her.

lyrics

MADDIE SUE BALLEU

Oh my Maddie, oh my Maddie Sue Balleu.
Oh my Maddie, I’m in love with you.
Oh my Maddie, yes you know my heart is true.
Oh my Maddie, girl I’m courting you.

Yes we’ll go a-walking, bring your friends with you.
Yes we’ll go a-walking, I’ll bring my friends, too.
Yes we’ll go a-walking, drink a little brew.
Yes we’ll go a-walking, dance a little, too.

Jump down turn a-round hug the one you see.
Oh my Maddie, be in love with me.
Jump down turn a-round hug the one you see.
Oh my Maddie, be in love with me.
